Sorry, read "simulations" (in as in simulating a physical system) 
rather than "tests" - there could be some confusion there.  Although I 
don't claim to be an expert in Boost.Test, I haven't balked at the 
setting up it takes in the cases where I (perhaps unimaginatively) 
thought it fitted.

Are you suggesting I should have a longer look at 
program_execution_monitor?  Does have a way of saving up the errors 
that occur (and stop individual simulations) during a run and then 
print me all the details (with test names) at the end (will it mail 
them to me as they happen? That'd be great.)

cheers
