[boost] Problem linking Boost Unit Test Library on windows (1.33.0)

Hi!

I have a problem linking our application on windows. Somebody added test
cases using the boost unit test library, and since then windows won't
link anymore. The problem is, that the boost library contains a "main"
and doesn't seem to contain a "init_unit_test_suite" function (am I
missing a library?). It works on all other systems, is windows
unsupported there?

Is there any more information I should gather for you to see the
problem, or is this a known issue (I remember seeing something on the
list about this, but I think it was about a newer boost version. Can any
eventually made changes be expressed as a patch for 1.33.0 so I can
locally fix the issue, and won't need an upgrade)?

Cheers, Markus
