Hello,

sorry for the noise, yes, the test cases can themselves be organized 
into suites inside the test-executable with Boost.Test (Test-trees so to 
say), so we're free to build a gazillion of executables per module or 
collect them inside one executable and add a CTest-test for each suite 
which is then run with the corresponding runtime arguments instead. We 
could use this functionality also for other things. Orson pointed out 
that having multiple executables will help speeding things up in case of 
distributed parallel builds.
In any case reorganizing stuff will be rather painless due to all the 
freedoms. Since I'm seeing it all only from the viewpoint of a developer 
people running build machines should have the last word to say, how to 
set it up so it blends in nicely.

Cheers!
Michael
