Opening files is possible, you can add them to the commandline and access it 
with

namespace utf = boost::unit_test::framework;
utf::master_test_suite().argv
utf::master_test_suite().argc

That depends on your use case.

Interesting article, thanks for the link.
I think you have to code the basic functionality of this yourself into a 
(global) Boost.Test fixture. This fixture can setup the needed environment.

Hope this helps,

Jürgen
