I'd like to introduce yet another scenario for boost::test:

* once a bug has been found, it is possible to exercise the test case
that exhibits the bug, and this test case only, until the bug is corrected.

There could be unwanted interdependencies
between tests.

I use random sorting of the tests before run
with ability to specify the seed manually
in case of such problem.

(I happens only /very/ seldom I need it.)
