Not that I know.

Correct.

I think that's it. But it could be that the format of the XML files 
changed and it wasn't updated to handle them.

No, that's it.

Hm, I don't remember, it's been a while since I run it as most testers 
now a days use the python processing part of this to publish to the 
Boost regression web pages.

Optional, not well formed at all as it just inserts the content into the 
resulting HTML.

You might want to just skip the compiler_status if it's causing you this 
much pain. And instead use the python scripts to publish the results so 
they are integrated into the regression tables. The script is at: 
boost-root/tools/regression/xsl_reports/runner/collect_and_upload_logs.py

I run it as:

python collect_and_upload_logs.py
   --locate-root=C:\DevRoots\Boost\test_1_33
   "--runner RSI Kludge"
   --timestamp=build-timestamp.txt
   --comment=C:\DevRoots\Boost\regression_comment.html
   --run-type=incremental
   --tag=CVS_RC_1_33_0
