-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
 If I create a unit test using Boost.Test framework and run it like this:

 ./unit_test -some_param "" -other_param ""

 then after framework initialization I get argc == 4 and argv containing
 only 3 command line parameters: "-some_param", "" and "-other_param". The
 last empty parameter gets eaten away. If the last parameters is not empty
 then everything works normally.

 I believe removing check "if (index != argc-1)" from argv_traverser::init
 in boost/test/utils/runtime/cla/argv_traverser.ipp should fix the problem.
