Before setting up a page for this one, I'd probably consider adding

    # Remove .test files older than 20 days automatically
    find $boost_root -type f -name '*.test' -ctime +20 -exec rm {} ';'

to run_tests.sh. BTW. 'find' and the options used above are "SysV primordial soup" so it should be portable to pretty much any *NIX environment.
