See:

(It was undefined reference to main, but now it's something different:

   ..\boost\test\test_tools.hpp(467) : error  
    C2491: 'boost::test_tools::tt_detail::equal_impl' : definition of
    dllimport function not allowed

I'm pretty sure you can get the same results yourself by running bjam in
libs/test/test as described below.

That's right, you need to build bjam from CVS. Is there anything we can do
to make this error message more obvious?
