Hmmm - I DO run my own testing matrix made with library_status.  It's 
much simpler than the official one and doesn't require python or 
anything else.  Just need to compile b2, process_jam_log and 
library_test.  very simple, I run it everytime a make any kind of change.

It almost always fails somewhere - the serialization library has a lot 
of tests - but it's easy to fix.  And with CLang/Xcode - (which I use 
CMake/CTest) it's very, very fast - a few seconds for all the 
serialization library tests. GCC is slower, but still fine.
