Hi Gennadiy,

I'd be happy to provide you with a feature list. It may take a day or two. 

Boost typically provides libraries that beat the pants off anything else 
out there, and I'm sure that you're working to make Boost::Test the best 
unit testing framework available for C++. However, unlike many of the 
other libraries that Boost provides, a reasonably functional and popular 
substitute (CppUnit) existed. I'm curious as to what led you to write your 
own rather than contribute to CppUnit and try to get it incorporated into 
Boost (similar to how Spirit was incorporated)? Do you have different 
design goals for Boost::Test?

cheers,

Jon
