Well, not that elegant :-)

Ok, thanks. Maybe would be possible to automate this slightly
by some minor changes to

   BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( XXX )

? I'm thinking either

A. order (run) the test suites by name. This would make it easy for me 
to change the order without relocating any tests.

B. Add a new variant of test suites, e.g.

   BOOST_AUTO_FIRST_TEST_SUITE( XXX )

which seems less general than A.

thoughts?
