You mean a special library just containing the main definition for the unit 
test framework, right?

I'm not so sure every platform supports that. IIRC some year ago I got 
crashes at runtime when building a C++ app when main was linked in through a 
static library. I was using (the company formerly known as DEC) C++ 
6.<something> on OpenVMS Alpha 7.3-1.

As for what the standard says (if it says anything in this matter), I 
wouldn't know - sorry.
