Ok, I'll rename it.

I've impelemented some variation of that scheme. But default "-model ansi" is 
used. And with "bjam --v2 c++abi=cxxarm", "-model arm" is added to command

Note you'll need --v2 option both to process_jam_log and compiler_status. 
Using regression.py is not officially supported yet -- I'm doing a test run 
with it right now.
