Overall, that seems like a good approach.

Plus it has given me a better idea of requirements:

* boost-root/status/*.html files in CVS should not have to be changed for each release. (Note this applies to both compiler_status.html itself and other files in that directory.)

* Regression testers (and the scripts they run) should not have to do anything special or different for a release.

* The Release Manager will be responsible for renaming files on SourceForge at the time of a release. Using a script will ensure nothing gets forgotten.

* Users should be able to view status tables for either the current CVS state or for past releases.

I'll work on refining the specifics over the next few days.

Thanks,
