Jeff,

Take a look at the unit test stuff from Ullrich Koethe in 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/unittest/  The docs are not up to 
date.

He and I went back and forth about a month ago, and got to the point where 
both of us were pretty satisfied except for a few odds and ends.  Then we 
got busy with other work, but should get back to polishing it fairly soon.

I'm planning to update catch_exception according to various comments, too.

So if you would like to take a look at Ullrich's work, now might be a good 
time, so that we could have the benefit of your comments before going into 
a formal review.

Cheers,
