First of all I agree that we should not implement overlapping 
functionality in different boost libraries but OTOH I don't know why the 
developer of the test library implements its own string class.

I do would like to remark that we should minimise dependencies in the 
test-tools libraries and make them as lightweight as possible. Because 
if the  test tools don't compile, they can't be used to verify if the 
rest compiles !?
