I am trying to make Boost.Test UTF the interface these docs will describe 
(isn't this what you wanted?). Thus we dropped: test execution monitor, 
program execution monitor, execution monitor from all the user's guide and 
advanced usage sections. Few components which I still want to cover I placed 
in reference docs. This location makes most since this is really is a 
programmer interface with some semantic behind it.

Yes and No. The main intention here is to ensure that users will never get 
confused these components as public interfaces of UTF. I intentionally want 
them to look very different.

Not quite sure how index is going to help with what I am after.
