#5972: Support program option to only dump the test-tree in text to output stream

     Type:  Feature Requests     |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined     |   Component:  test   
  Version:  Boost 1.38.0         |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  dump test tree       |  
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 A problem that i often hear from the development teams is that the
 run_test switch doesn't return any testcases; the engineer has problems in
 configuring the filter like --run_test=*/*/*TestA or --run_test=*/*/TestA*

 A simple solution is to run the test app using --log_level=test_suite
 --run_test=non-exisiting-test, this effectively dumps the testtree; only
 it is not indented; so still difficult to interpret when you have >300
 test cases in a hierarchy of suites.

 A simple solution is to add a visitor to simply write the suite/names to
 an output stream in format: n*(suite/)testcase; example:
 master/suite1/test1
 master/suite1/suite1.1/test2
 master/suite2/test3
 etc...
