| While working on Boost.Test documentation update I've

| no substantial reason anymore to keep this component around. 
| The Unit Test Framework work just as well and does not require any more
effort.

And I also think we could get rid of Test Tools as a separate library - so
there is just ONE library, which could easily be supplied pre-built, and to
which it is auto-linked.

I feel strongly that this is the Right Thing To Do - it makes testing simple
and uniform.

One of the major barriers to using Boost.Test is complexity. Doing
everything with one tool is much easier.

Sine I don't have to change a lot of Boost testing code, I would say that
;-)

But I am going to change all MY code.

However there is plenty of time to make the changes, and they are not major.
