Description

Sometimes it is nice to get the list of tests without actually executing them, e.g. to integrate the compiled executable in ​Gallio.
Many *nix tools provide this with a command line argument "--dry_run" and/or "-n". I have added this in my local boost and can now get a nicely parse-able test list with 

test.exe -r detailed -m XML -e stdout -n

I now have an option --list_content for that.
