Yes, that's the idea. The goal is to detach, eventually, the regression 
tools from the Boost source tree. The benefit of that being that the 
regression tools would no longer be tightly coupled with the Boost tree 
itself. Making for less interruption of testing in between releases. It 
also has the benefit that we would not need to include the regression 
tools with the release archives, making for smaller user downloads.

PS. Almost done... Just need to test the upload step.
