RE: [boost] unit test framework

>I should say that my specific interest in the unit test framework is for
very short design-implement-test cycles (or what the 'agile' folks call
test
first design). So, in addition to the requirements for regression testing,
I'm also interested in:
  Making tests as simple to write as possible;
  Getting very fast feedback
    (thus <regex> to temporarily reduce the scope of testing);
  Integrating tests into development tools;
  Detecting resource leaks;
  GUI testing;
  Thread testing
<

Which all looks good, I wonder can you layer a "fully featured" test suite
on top of the smaller footprint unit test code, so that the two can be
independent of each other?
