Isn't that the wrong way to do things - we can forcibly turn NDEBUG off
with:

#undef NDEBUG
#include <boost/whatever>

And then the tests will run in release mode as well - I can well imagine
running tests in release mode as well as debug mode BTW - we would want to
detect possible optimizer problems (or at least know about them) wouldn't
we?
