   This seems like the output Boost Build gives when you pass it the 
--debug-configuration option. I know some of the Boost Build tests set 
this to get some additional information but do not know why there should 
be 'a boatload of them'.

   I'm not sure why this message should be repeated so many times... Is 
this from a single test or multiple ones?

   This is a message displayed in Boost locale's locale/build/Jamfile.v2 
build script. Don't know why it is displayed on your tester and so many 
times.

   Hope this helps.
