[boost] Boost.Test: automatic test cases inside a static library

I'm trying to get something like the following to work:

test_case1.cpp and test_cast2.cpp are compiled into a static library
(libtest.a).  They use BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE for test cases.

test_main.cpp contains:
#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>

However, when I compile test_main.cpp and link libtest.a into it, none
of the test cases run.

The test cases do run if test_main.cpp #includes test_case1.cpp and
test_case2.cpp, but I'd rather not do that if it's not necessary.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
