I can try that. Have you ever passed arguments to Boost.Test's unit-test 
framework with Boost.Build? AFAICT, it is not possible to give these 
arguments to the "unit-test" rule.

I have played a little with the assertions also. I found that
doing

#if (BOOST_MSVC >= 1400)
#include <crtdbg.h>
#endif

#if (BOOST_MSVC >= 1400)
#define DEZIDE_ASSERT _ASSERT
#else
#define DEZIDE_ASSERT BOOST_ASSERT
#endif

also improves the situation quite a bit. With the normal BOOST_ASSERT(), 
   the program would not break immediately at the point of the 
assertion, which was a major annoyance to me.

Perhaps we should consider upgrading BOOST_ASSERT?
