comment on Boost.Test

howdy,

I've been using Boost.Test a bit for some work lately, and I just had
a quick comment.  The Test tools have been really great for some of my 
development work.  I can put together some quick executables to test
out functionality, and with the help of gnu automake, I can put
together a test suite rather quickly.  My one question is in regard to 
the Execution tools.  

I definitely like the feel of the execution tools.  In the past my
main functions have generally been wrapped in a sub-sufficient try
block to catch exceptions, but with a switch to cppmain, this is taken 
care of for me.  I was hoping to use the execution tools in production 
code, but I find the "no errors detected" message to be about the only 
hindrance to this.  I'd rather not have my apps output this message
under normal operation.  Could this message be factored down to the
Test tools level (test_main) such that no errors leads to a silent
exit from cpp_main?
