This is not a part of new Boost test library. Make clean install. 
Also you don't need one.

This is not a part of new Boost test library.

You will also need all other files that consist Test Execution 
Monitor. See MSVC project for list of files.

Why not? The project is supplied. And instead of compiling 
everythinng all the time you will compile it once. I think that time 
you will spend configuring your workplace is much lesser than tyime 
yo uwill spend waiting to compile.

P.S. When I tried to compile your example (all proper files included) 
with MSVC6.0, I got 1 compilation error in line containing 
std::for_each. I am inclined to think that this is MSVC bug. To fix 
it introduce a temporary veriable for first 2 arguments of the 
for_each.
