Re: [boost] [test] --catch_system_errors=no doesn't workwithminimaltest

God, I hope not. The only reason this component exists is because some people here on the list, who were familiar with original testing library wanted something for backward compatibility. In fact for the new users I don't see almost any reasons to use it at all. Boost.Test provides better alternatives.

Quoting from the introduction to the documentation section for the Minimal Testing facility:

Perhaps something more akin to your message above should be in this introduction. Note that one of my co-workers also went down this

Ok. I will add some discouraging message. Gennadiy
