So what? Some of the test tests are explicitly making use of DLL's. 
Should these simply omitted for msvc-6.5? Shall I try to modify the Jamfile?

Then I think I almost racked down from where the error comes:

It seems that the compiler does not allow to embed a member
callback0<> m_callbackfn;
in an exported class. I assume that this callback is across DLL 
boundaries, yes? Perhaps someone with knowledge of the inner workings of 
Boost.Test can suggest a work around?
