BOOST_TEST offers, much *much* more than anything Catch or any other 
alternatives I've seen offers. To be fair - it takes more than 400 lines of 
code.

Let's be real: how faster is it? On my 3 year old laptop single header test 
takes within a second (can't say for sure - it's too quick) to compile. Not to 
mention that you can easily build against the library if this would ever a 
concern.
