[Boost-users] Redirecting test output to an XML file

Subject: [Boost-users] Redirecting test output to an XML file

I have the following code that I am using to regression test part of my
library. The project uses automake and autoconf to build the Makefiles
then runs the tests via 'make check'. I would like to see all the test
result output written as XML files in the directory where the test files
reside. That way I can use a script to gather them up and craft a web
page off of them.

My question: How to redirect Boost Test output to an XML file?

I see I can use --log_format=XML to make an XML file but not quite sure
how to incorporate that into automake and autoconf.
