Actually right now we are using 1.32.0, I've downloaded 1.33.1 but I'll 
have to convince the rest of my group that it's worth it to update to 
1.33.1 or I maybe able to use 1.33.1 just for the test library, I don't 
know yet.
 
IMO Example 3 doesn't really show building a multilevel hierarchy it 
just shows how to derive from test_suite and add that to the master 
test_suite. Yes you could create multiple test_suites and add them 
together in interesting ways but what does that buy you?
 
Now that I see the detailed report level I see some use for hierarchy's, 
maybe the documentation should mention this and provide some example output.
 
It took me a while to find the command line documentation you might 
consider making it stand out more in the documentation and maybe even 
add a standard "-h --help" option so that the test executables are self 
documenting, if your using boost::program_options this is pretty easy.
 
Thanks for quick feedback I'll see what I can do. I really hate creating 
a bunch of executables (especially in MS .NET 2003) but I also don't 
really want to always run all my tests I'll watch for version 1.35.
 
Thanks
