A few things to do:

* We have a list for those people who are running, or maintain, 
regression testing:

http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#testing

I suggest continuing over there, but some other initial comments for now...

* There's a short set of instructions on running regression tests at:

http://engineering.meta-comm.com/regression_setup/instructions.html

It requires having Python 2.3 at least. Mike's QNX repository has a 
Python 2.4 build...

* Make sure to test the RC_1_33_0 branch as the mainline doesn't have 
the minimal QNX support changes. I haven't merged them back into the 
trunk yet.

* On that branch there's a "qcc-tools.jam" BBv1 toolset file which you 
can use instead of the regular gcc toolset. All it does is specify to 
use "QCC" or "qcc" instead of "g++" and "gcc" for the commands.
