 command line arguments containing spaces are corrupted by the test
 framework's internal command line parser. This is a problem if passing
 additional arguments to the test executable containing, for example, paths
 with spaces.

 Compile and run the following with the argument "root\\foo bar\\file.txt"

 {{{#!cpp

 #include <string>
 #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

 using namespace boost::test;

 void command_line_parser_preserves_whitespace(const std::string & after) {
 // this will fail as after = "root\\foo"
   BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL(std::string("root\\foo bar\\file.txt", after);
 }

 bool init_function() {
      framework::master_test_suite().
         add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( boost::bind(
 &command_line_parser_preserves_whitespace, std::string
 path(framework::master_test_suite.path().argv[1]) ) ) )
     return true;
 }

 int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) {
     return ::boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( &init_function, argc, argv
 );
 }
 }}}
