 Sometimes it is nice to get the list of tests without actually executing
 them, e.g. to integrate the compiled executable in
 [[http://www.gallio.org/|Gallio]].[[BR]]
 Many *nix tools provide this with a command line argument "--dry_run"
 and/or "-n". I have added this in my local boost and can now get a nicely
 parse-able test list with
 {{{
 test.exe -r detailed -m XML -e stdout -n
 }}}
