If it would be of any help and if it actually can be done with the 
current states of BBv2 and the test system then I could set up a Linux 
box with BBv2 based Boost regression testing for some weeks. The box 
would be able to produce more than one result set per day for a single 
toolset.

Aleksey/Misha: does regression.py support BBv2 or could support for BBv2 
be added within reasonable time?
