#4579: MSVC regression tests need _set_abort_behavior() call

Milestone:  To Be Determined                  |   Component:  Regression Testing
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk           |    Severity:  Optimization      
 Keywords:  BOOST_MSVC, abort, retry, ignore  |  
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 A number of boost regression tests fail and put up a dialog:
 {{{
 Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
 Debug Error!
 Program …
 This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
 way.
 Please contact the application’s support team for more information.
 (Press Retry to debug the application.)
 [Buttons:] Abort, Retry, Ignore.
 }}}

 The '--timeout' parameter to run.py eventually kills it, but even at 5
 (minutes), dozens of these assertions extend the regression test by hours,
 and I think that the current trunk test is triggering at least a dozen.

 You can inhibit this box via the MSVC run-time function
 [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e631wekh.aspx

 _set_abort_behavior()]:
 {{{
 _set_abort_behavior( 0, _WRITE_ABORT_MSG|_CALL_REPORTFAULT);
 }}}


 Can the regression-testing framework insert this call for each program it
 builds under Win32/MSVC?
