What I meant was that I link with test_execution_monitor.  I surprised
to see this depend on unit_test_.... .  Its not a criticism - I just made 
presumptions
from the names of things.  The real problem is the commeau pre-linker 
complains
when the same template instantiation is found in two different librariies. 
That's
what I meant to characterise as a "special case".  I just worked around
this by commenting out the above code - I have no idea what the best
way to fix this is - or even if its worth spending any time on.
