When I upgraded from boost 1.33.0 to boost 1.34.1, I got link errors on
Windows. I tried it with the documentation from

http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/compilation.html

and with your recent suggestions, but I haven't found another way to
remove the linking errors than to globally define "BOOST_TEST_INCLUDED"
(or link against boost_unit_test_framework-XXX.dll, but I prefered using
"included" option). Maybe I haven't tried hard enough, but I have also
other things to do than try to exactly follow an incomplete
documentation.

I admit that with boost 1.33.0, simply following the documentation
worked just fine, so Markus Duft is probably not forced to use my
"fidhy" solution.

I tried the link, but it doesn't work for me.
