That's much better and it is a relief ! Thanks Aleksey.
Markus suggestion is good, I've made an honest effort but I really  
could not find the page.

If you don't mind I still have one more question:
Do the code still needs a lot of workarounds for compilers problems or  
the latest versions of the compilers have good compliance ?
1.32 report shows a good situation but I don't know if it reflects good  
compilers compliance or boost developers heroic efforts to workaround  
problems.

Thanks !

Aleksey, it might be a good idea to put these links somewhere prominent  
on the boost main page, maybe replacing the old regression reports.
