This is wrong statement. Boost.Test supports *both* link with library and 
avoid it by using sungle header version of Boost.Test

If you are using 1.34 the correct lines are

#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
 
or 

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE master suite name here
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
