test report_level in 1.30.0

We just upgraded from 1.29.0 to 1.30.0 and started having a problem 
running in the unit test framework. When we start the test with the 
command line parameter "--report_level=detailed" the tests crash. They 
work fine if we set the environment parameter 
BOOST_TEST_REPORT_LEVEL=detailed, or when we set other command line 
parameters, such as "--log_level=detailed".

I looked at the code in libs/test/src/unit_test_main.cpp and saw that 
the command line parsing for report_level doesn't occur until after the 
unit test suite has been invoked. It appears that the unit test is then 
getting a command line that contains "--report_level=detailed". In our 
case, it doesn't know what to do with this.

I hacked our copy of unit_test_main.cpp to parse the command line for 
--report_level before starting the unit test suite, storing the value 
locally.

Has anyone else had this problem? Are we using the unit test framework 
the wrong way? Do you think I fixed it the right way, and will there be 
an official fix soon?

Thanks,
