Brad,
thanks for the heads up about vxl. I took those 2 scripts and
adapted them for boost. I have since been able to submit an
experimental Dashboard to <http://www.cdash.org/CDashPublic/index.php?project=Boost

tests.
Also, if you click on the "site" you get some stats about the machine
that built boost.. All of which is either wrong or not filled in. Are
there some configuration options for this that need to be set or is
the parsing code for CTest not grepping OS X machines correctly?
Thanks for the help with this
