OK. I'll see about updating that to where the code for that went to. And
making sure it's working as best as I can. Won't be soon though.

Also, note that the code for that tool is now at <
https://github.com/boostorg/regression/tree/develop/library_status>. And
IIRC it's updated to build if you clone/get the regression repo. But I
never tried using the resulting executable. And process_jam_log is at <
https://github.com/boostorg/regression/tree/develop/testing>.

Like Steven I just use b2 directly and read the output. But then I have a
very simple library to deal with. So I'm not a good example.
