[boost] [config] limits_test is missing [test] symbols

Hi,

I'm trying to run the trunk version of boost/libs/config tests and am  
getting this linker error from limits_test with the Pathscale 3.0  
compiler.

pathscale.link ../../../bin.v2/libs/config/test/limits_test.test/ 
pathscale-3.0/debug/threading-multi/limits_test

/var/scratch/boost/libs/config/test/limits_test.cpp:85: undefined  
reference to `boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::set_checkpoint 
(boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const>, unsigned long,  
boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const>)'

Now poking around boost/test, I found set_checkpoint defined in impl/ 
unit_test_log.ipp, which is apparently never included into <boost/ 
test/test_tools.hpp>.  Here's how I found this.

[boost/test] pwd
/var/scratch/boost/boost/test

[boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H impl/unit_test_log.ipp {} \;
./included/unit_test.hpp:#include <boost/test/impl/unit_test_log.ipp>
./included/test_exec_monitor.hpp:#include <boost/test/impl/ 
unit_test_log.ipp>

[boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H included/unit_test.hpp {} \;
./included/unit_test_framework.hpp:#include <boost/test/included/ 
unit_test.hpp>

[boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H included/ 
test_exec_monitor.hpp {} \;

[boost/test] find . -type f -exec grep -H included/ 
unit_test_framework.hpp {} \;

So how is boost/libs/config/test/limits_test supposed to pick up  
set_checkpoint and other missing Boost.test symbols?  What am I missing?

Thanks.
