We have circle.yml script in the main repo dir defining what needs to be 
done. AFAIR it was based on some older Antony Polukhin's TravisCI script 
for testing Boost.Variant with Coveralls support. The script is more 
complex than the example ones because everything is done by hand, the 
tests are divided into 2 parallel builds run on separate containers, 
then coverage results are gathered on one machine, combined into one 
file and sent to Coveralls.

So if you'd like to use this script you'd have to modify it. There are 
comments describing what's happening exactly so you shouldn't have 
problems with it. If you decided to use it and run into some problems 
contact me.

Plus AFAIR you have to log in at CircleCI with GitHub credentials to 
configure some things and then allow CircleCI to have access to your repo.
