Yes, because it uses the AUTO_TEST framework.
All other AUTO_TEST based tests in the whole boost work with static and 
dynamic linked UTF. 
That's not the deal :-((

My main problem is that I've got tests using the _old_ API (add test per 
test_suite->add(new custom_test_suite).
And the Boost tests use them, too. See my patch to Volodya making them 
explicitly link to the static UTF libraries...

And from all I've read I see no easy way of switching those 
_transparently_ from static to dynamic linking and back.
By _tranparently_ I mean _without_ changing the sources (quite a lot) 
and adding some macros...

Or I've still not understood the docs.
I'll think I'll simply try all possible combinations of makros and 
test-frameworks and just create a test suite showing everything that 
works and what will not work...

Yours,

Jürgen
