I ended up working around this by creating a wrapper function.  This
function calls init() once (if it has not already been called) followed
by the intended test.

I wrap all my test functions in this wrapper, this way it does not
matter which test is called first, the init code will always run first.

I think there is probably room in Boost.Test for some way of running
code during init (which uses BOOST_REQUIRE_* etc) for those situations
where factory classes must be created prior to the tests which use
them, and when the tests are manually registered.

Cheers,
Adam.
