One per compiler is easy - see 
https://github.com/boostorg/type_traits/blob/develop/appveyor.yml for an 
example.

In extreme cases, that might not be enough of a split, in which case you 
can split the tests for each compiler into multiple chunks as well: 
https://github.com/boostorg/math/blob/develop/.travis.yml

No, but make sure the Jamfile has

import testing ;

and that Boost.Build is installed.

You have a dependency not installed, the

- python tools/boostdep/depinst/depinst.py library_name

line should take care of this - did you forget to update the library 
name in that part?

HTH, John.
