Is there a way to write a multi-file-test module in a way that allows me
to link it to dynamic and/or a static library version?

Currently the software is able to link against a static or a dynamic
variant of the boost libraries. If I want to use the boost test
framework there seems to be no way how I can build against both variant
without changing defines. For the dynamic library variant I would need
to define -DBOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API while for the static
variant I need to use the traditional API. The problem is that the
linker in the end decides what library it is linking against.

Using the boost/test/included/* variant of the framework does not seem
to be supported in a multi-file-test setup.

Is there any way I can make this work?

Thanks,
Jan
