Hmm, this one is strange (unless you were trying to build through Bjam
-- in that case, please see below). Some minor issues aside, 1.32 is
known to play friendly with CW 9.3 on OSX (it's one of our production
configurations here at work).

Most definitely.

It sounds fine. Eventually Meta is going to run regressions with XCode
regularly as well, and when it happens, we can divide the
responsibilities.
