So essentially you looking for something like this:

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test_abc )
{
....
}

BOOST_TEST_CASE_CONDITION( test_abc, BOOST_TEST_CASE_FILE_DEPEND( abc.cpp, 
10*60 ) ) ;

We could design several different runtime conditions: file dependence, time 
dependency and provide API for custom users conditions.

I will need to think how to implement something like this. Meanwhile if you 
could supply code for timestamp comparisons it'll be useful.
