[boost] Boost.Test observations

Here's what I needed to type with the old test framework:

C:\Documents and Settings\pdimov\My Documents\Projects\smart_ptr>bcc32
..\..\..\
cvs\boost\libs\smart_ptr\shared_ptr_test.cpp

And here is the new version:

C:\Documents and Settings\pdimov\My Documents\Projects\smart_ptr>bcc32
..\..\..\
cvs\boost\libs\smart_ptr\shared_ptr_test.cpp
..\..\..\cvs\boost\libs\test\src\ex
ecution_monitor.cpp ..\..\..\cvs\boost\libs\test\src\test_main.cpp
..\..\..\cvs\
boost\libs\test\src\test_tools.cpp
..\..\..\cvs\boost\libs\test\src\unit_test_co
nfig.cpp ..\..\..\cvs\boost\libs\test\src\unit_test_log.cpp
..\..\..\cvs\boost\l
ibs\test\src\unit_test_monitor.cpp
..\..\..\cvs\boost\libs\test\src\unit_test_re
sult.cpp ..\..\..\cvs\boost\libs\test\src\unit_test_suite.cpp

I am sure that the new library provides more functionality, and is better
overall, but for simple tests that only use BOOST_TEST and BOOST_ERROR,
isn't it a bit of overkill?
