I would be happy to do the regression tests, and the construction of a jam ile if tha is what is needed for the new version to compile either boost 1.36, or the trunk.
That's nice! Regression test running is automated by a Python script. Instructions on how to put it to work are given at
http://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html
Also, you can find help on testing issues at the dedicated list:
http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-testing
It may be the case that you don't need to change anything to run the tests, or maybe just tweaking this file a litte suffices:
<boost-root>/tools/build/v2/tools/borland.jam
But probably in the testing list you can get better advice.
Sean's contribution would be helpful indeed and I believe you provided the necessary pointers for him to get started. As Borland no longer owns the C++ Builder product I guess the corresponding toolset should be replaced by a new one (codegear?) in the near future; however no change is necessary to Boost.Build in order to use the latest version of C++ Builder. What needs some changing on the other hand is the compiler configuration; I expect to submit a patch for approval later today. Sean, please wait until this first batch of patches is committed before you start testing; all tests will fail until the new compiler is properly configured.
