You don't really need to rewrite main to implement redirection. There are 
several ways to do this. One of simplest id to use global fixture:

std::ofstream logStream;
std::ofstream reportStream;

struct output_setup {
    output_setup()
    {
        logStream.open( "c:\\log.xml" );
        unit_test_log.set_stream( logStream );

        reportStream.open( "c:\\report.xml" );
        results_reporter::set_stream( reportStream );
   }
};

BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( output_setup );
