That's too bad, I like the automatic registration facility because it is less error-prone ... It doesn't allow you to write test cases and not notice that they never get called.

How hard would it be for me to fake it?  I wonder if there's some preprocessor trickery that could keep a list, e.g.

#define MY_TEST_CASE( function_name ) \
        #define TEMP LISTOFTESTS, function_name \
      #undef LISTOFTESTS \
        #define LISTOFTESTS TEMP \
        #undef TEMP \
      BOOST_CLASS_TEST_CASE(function_name())

Well I know that obviously won't work but you get the idea ... To wind up with a list that looks like:

        function1, function2, function3, 

Which I can then use in an initialized array, and have my test_suite automatically add all of them.

Possible?  Good approach or bad?

No. you will have to use manual registration to specify timeout value.
