Yes but... separating necessary Boost parts into independent (non-submodule) 
repos never felt right to me. IMO regression needs to be a submodule as 
well. A recursive clone of Boost should give one everything that is needed. 
And it does make sense to version the regression tools with the rest.

wgetting a random version rubs me the wrong way. Test results should be 
reproducible.

In other words, I think that CI/testing should acquire the necessary scripts 
by

    git submodule update --init --depth 1 tools/regression

instead of by wget.
