It turns out there is a way to base the build on he Boost master-repo
and make the clones quick.
The Boost.Variant may serve as an example here:
https://github.com/apolukhin/variant/tree/travisci

Actually, Antony posted Travis CI suggestion to Boost ml in Sept:

Hmm, it looks that github.com/boostorg repositories are already Travis
CI enabled,
means they have the hook activated, as Antony wrote:
"the parent repository was already Travis enabled"
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/09/217087.php
So, that issue might have already been solved.

Check also the table in the README with test coverage status.
It is provided by coveralls.io service:
https://coveralls.io/r/apolukhin/variant?branch=travisci
It would be nice to add it too.
