Strange, I use Boost.Test a lot but did not used BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN in
the past. Will dig into the docu ...

James, please fix all these (maybe not so little) issues after obtaining
the source from subversion (just search for the bogus strings and fix
these) and send a diff. I will do so as well once I spot errors in it.
Without sending patches the quality will not improve ...

Thanks,
