The test suite name did not change. The master test suite is always present 
and is the root of test tree hierarhy. Your test suite is it's child. To see 
complete hierarhy you need to specify --report_level=detailed

You don't really need BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE here (at least in an example 
above). Here how it could look:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE myTestSuite
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(myFirstTestCase)
{
    BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(5, 2);
}

Try to run this a tell me is an output is what you want.
