Well, I said more-or-less, implying also the inclusion of de-facto 
standards.

I'd prefer XML (which could potentially be implemented using the 
property_tree library, even though I think Boost.Test should be as 
self-contained as possible). INI-file style format would be ok too, example:

[boost.test.log]
format = xml
output_file = $MY_OUTPUT_FILE

[boost.test.log.xml]
suite_tag = testsuite

Thanks for listening.
