Title: Fixes for #7419

Pull request for https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7419 allowing boost.test to be used in production systems in a test mode. In other words test can be configured using non-conflicting command-line options and be executed in arbitrary code. Please see the referenced ticket #7419 for full details which explains the use case. Our production code relies on this and the related patches/pull requests #15 and #16. As a set they enable powerful use of boost test by making the test tools available in non-test programs and allow sophisticated tools to be built off boost.test's output.

We've been using these patches for over 2 years painfully applying them to boost test for each release. They are small and unobtrusive and now that we're all comfy in git I think it's time to get them added so others can benefit and boost.test is no longer broken when used with boost.timer.
