With the patch that avoids "maybe-rewrite-setup" patch, regression was 
fine. I started again from a clean repo, includes were found (I guess 
hardlinks were not properly generated) and my report was generated. 
Search for runner "igaztanaga" in

http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/move.html

so the problem seems to be related to "maybe-rewrite-setup".

Here we go:

Yes. I tried to subscribe before posting here but got no reply. I've 
just checked the gmail spam folder and the reply seems to there. So this 
would be the last post on Developer's list.

Thanks,
