Hi all,

Just recently I have started to work with the Boost Test framework. I 
would like to use it as a replacement for the current testing framework 
in place, but there are some demands I have to fulfill with the new 
testing framework, such as Jenkins must be able to process the resulting 
XML files.

Currently, I am mainly looking for a way to skip a test case or a suite 
if some predicate is true or some definition is defined. This should be 
properly reflected in the log or report, preferably both.

I have been tampering around with 
boost::unit_test::unit_test_log.test_unit_skipped(), but the result was 
an ill-formed XML log. Is there any best practice on how to do this 
properly?

Thanks in advance,
Florian
