I have done a search for "BOOST_TEST_INCLUDED" in the boost/test sources
now, and came to the conclusion, that globally defining
"BOOST_TEST_NO_LIB" will have a similar effect. I tried this, and it
works.

Is this the "officially supported" solution? But how am I supposed to
know from the sources that globally defining "BOOST_TEST_NO_LIB" is the
expected way to do it, while defining "BOOST_TEST_INCLUDED" is "fidhy"?

Or is globally defining "BOOST_TEST_NO_LIB" just as "fidhy" as globally
defining "BOOST_TEST_INCLUDED"?
