Assuming that you're building from the IDE you will need to add some files
from the boost test lib to get this to link:

compile all the files that are *not* named *main.cpp in libs/test/src into a
static lib and add that to your project along with
libs/test/src/test_main.cpp.

Having just said that, it seems that someone has recently broken the signals
lib under Borland (it used to compile OK, but doesn't at present), anyone
any ideas?
