Could you please post a code snippet? There is no 'unit_test_framework'
anywhere in my boost source tree; in any event, the above is likely caused
by

namespace boost
{
    using namespace unit_test_framework;
}

which looks evil to me. 'detail' when referenced from within boost should
unambiguously designate boost::detail.
