You don't really need to rewrite main to implement redirection. There
are several ways to do this. One of simplest id to use global fixture:
std::ofstream logStream;
std::ofstream reportStream;
struct output_setup {
   output_setup()
   {
       logStream.open( "c:\\log.xml" );
       unit_test_log.set_stream( logStream );
reportStream.open( "c:\\report.xml" );
       results_reporter::set_stream( reportStream );
  }
};
BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( output_setup );
I originally did something similar:

---
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE foo
#include 
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace boost::unit_test;

struct output_setup {
    output_setup()
    {
        logStream_.open( "c:\\temp\\log.xml" );
        if (logStream_.is_open())
          unit_test_log.set_stream( logStream_ );
   }

    ~output_setup()
    {
         if (logStream_.is_open())
          unit_test_log.set_stream( std::cout );
   }

   std::ofstream logStream_;
};

BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( output_setup );
---

The above kind-of works, but the final "</TestLog>" goes to stdout (which 
was unexpected, at least for me). I understand what happens, but wouldn't it 
be more intuitive to have the above working?

OTOH, defining the output_setup instance as a static instance:

output_setup g_outputSetup;

seems to work just fine though, and does not require 1.34 either.
