-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 I'm trying to use boost-build's run rule to run tests built with
 Boost.Test and then have my continuous integration system parse the
 resulting XML to report on the tests.  The problem is the output files
 generated by boost-build are no longer proper XML.

 The problem is boost-build adds an extra line "EXIT STATUS: 0" (or
 whatever the status was).  That makes the XML invalid, and XML parsers
 will throw an error.

 The sensible solution is to not append the exit status to the captured
 output, but to put it in another file instead.  Perhaps
 <basename>.exitcode or similar.
