Am I the only one who thinks it logical that a regression test for 
'master' should use the 'master' branch of everything and the regression 
test for 'develop' should use the 'develop' branch of everything ? Why 
is this even going to be debated ? I have no idea why the 'master' 
branch uses the 'devlop' branch of Boost Build, but that does not seem 
like it can ever be right.
