There are several ways you can get an appropriate implementation of
main() from Boost.Test.

Since you are using the dynamic library version of Boost.Test, you
need at most one source file that defines BOOST_TEST_MAIN before
including <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>.  (You should also be defining
BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK before including unit_test.hpp in all your source
files since you are using the dynamically linked library.)
