Hum... I looked at src/regression.py and realized you've got something 
different in mind than I was expecting.

My expectation was that regression.py changes would be limited to being 
able to pass in the path on the ftp server, currently hard-wired to 
'/boost-regression'. I'd probably also allow the user to change the ftp 
server URL, currently hardwired to 'fx.meta-comm.com', but that isn't 
strictly necessary.

Note that I assume that all branches/release testers will do svn 
updates, at least initially. The tarball is just too unreliable.
