The symbol "execution_exception".  It is forward declared but does not
have a definition.  I verified this by looking at the preprocessor output.

I was able to successfully compile and run all the Xpressive tests
and examples with the /clr flag under msvc-9.0, after I added
"#include <boost/test/execution_monitor.hpp>" to file
"test_observer.hpp" to fix the linker warning.  The warning is
"LNK4248: unresolved typeref token (01000015) for 
'boost.execution_exception'".

Oops, maybe I should have compiled the library with /clr too.

Anyway, here is an example command line and program to
duplicate the problem under msvc-8.0:
Thanks,

cl /clr test_1.cpp -I%BOOST_ROOT% /link
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-1_35.lib /ENTRY:main

// test_1.cpp
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
// #include <boost/test/execution_monitor.hpp>
void test1() {}
using namespace boost::unit_test;
test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    test_suite *test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("test1");
    test->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&test1));
    return test;
}
