[Boost-testing] CodeWarrior on Mac

    My first attempt to run the regressions against CodeWarrior on the 
Mac didn't get very far.

    I ran "python regression.py --runner=Dirxion --toolsets=cw" and, 
eventually, got "Unknown toolset" from build.sh when it tried to build 
bjam even though "cw" is on the list of supported toolsets:
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#Tools

    (build.sh says that it can only handle "acc, como, darwin, gcc, 
intel-linux, kcc, kylix, mipspro, sunpro, tru64cxx, vacpp" which is a 
rather smaller list than the toolsets that the web page lists as 
supported.  Why do these lists differ?!?)

    To build my confidence I went ahead and did a darwin run and you can 
see those results on the web site today.  (Also, I've already updated my 
comments.html to be more informative).

    One more question, John Maddock suggested that I give the different 
toolset runs a "different identifier name"?  What does he mean?  The way 
the tables look it seems like I should use "--runner=Dirxion" for both 
darwin and CodeWarrior and the results will be differentiated by the 
differing toolset identifiers.  Is there something else I should do to 
differentiate the results from the two compilers?
