Introduction
========================================================================
This project includes simple samples illustrating basic use of
Boost.Test:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html
The samples accompany the tutorial on alittlemadness.com:

========================================================================
Prerequisites
========================================================================
The samples assume a Un*x-like environment, and also require:
- a GNU-compatible make (for building)
- Boost 1.38.0 (possibly later versions, but they are not tested),
installed in the system include and library paths.
========================================================================
Building and Running
========================================================================
To build the samples, run make:
$ make
This creates five binaries, one for each test sample file. To
actually run the tests, use the `test' target:
$ make test
This will execute all of the binaries with arguments to make them
produce XML output, captured into report-*.xml files.
When you're done, your can remove all built files by cleaning:
$ make clean
