This was not a decision at the point I checked in the code, but I am trying 
to defend the notion of dropping c++03 in general. Who wants to admit a 
mistake - let's make a political statement out of it ;o). Seriously though - 
this *is* the subject worth discussing.

I wish we can have an established procedure. Introducing new Boost.Test3 or 
Boost.Test-c++11 does not look appealing.
