I was looking at the Boost web page describing the Boost test policies, 
at http://www.boost.org/development/test.html. I was not sure what I 
needed to use to design tests for possible Boost software. I noticed 
that it was not required to use Boost Test in order to do so, but that 
there was an "Optional (but highly recommended)" section for using Boost 
Test.

But neither of the links there are valid any longer, and while Boost 
Test still has a Unit Test Framework I did not find any Test Tools 
section for simple test programs, although perhaps the execution 
monitors or minimal test in Boost Test was originally meant. Anyway the 
page needs to be updated in regard to Boost Test links.

I also found the lightweigt_test.hpp in Boost detail, so I was wondering 
whether or not that is now considered a viable enough choice for 
designing Boost component's tests.
