That's because minimal.hpp as the name suggest, provide minimal 
functionally.

Namely - occasionally(if not rarely). Test they run on a regular basis

God, I hope not. The only reason this component exists is because some 
people here on the list, who were familiar with original testing library 
wanted something for backward compatibility. In fact for the new users I 
don't see almost any reasons to use it at all. Boost.Test provides better 
alternatives.
