That is clear- again my concern is with the workflow that is triggered after execution is complete and people are reading the test reports. A warn coupled with a logging message that says test was aborted should be clear enough.

BOOST_REQUIRE won't work in the setup step because it does exactly what I want to avoid :) Thanks, I will throw a c++ exception.
