>From the front page of the "Boost Test Library" documentation,
follow these links:

  Components --> Program Execution Monitor --> Compilation

There it is. It doesn't feel like that page is particularly easy
to find, though. Maybe there should be a "Building Instructions"
link on the index page? I doubt many users would look into a
section called "Components" to figure out how to link Boost.Test
to their programs.
