[boost] Boost.Test: File/build structure for Boost.Test unit

Hi,

I'm using Boost.Test for unit testing a project I am working on. My 
question is if there is a standard way to set up and structure your unit 
test project.

I am using Eclipse/CDT on Linux and my project is an executable shell 
script daemon with a bunch of classes compiled and linked into it.

In order to unit test the various classes I set up another project, 
specifically for unit tests that compiles and links in all the classes 
from the main project.

Now, my question is this: do I have one monolithic unittests.cpp file 
that for all the unit tests or should I set up multiple files which is 
preferable, e.g. one cpp file per class being tested.

Is there a standard "best practices" way to do this?

Best Regards,
Ari Johannesson
