Unfortunately I do not know any solution to this. Apparently when DLL on 
windows is linked - everything should be resolved. That's the primary reason 
why there is no DLL version of Boost.Test component on Windows. I still 
looking for some kind of workaround - it will definetly require different 
test initiation interface.
