IIRC Boost.Test doesn't works neither on cygwin.

I'm using <boost/detail/lightweight_test.hpp> which is really 
lightweight and works everywhere.

Here it is a simple example

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/detail/lightweight_test.hpp>

int main()
{
   boost::thread::id id = boost::this_thread::get_id();
   BOOST_TEST(id != boost::thread::id());
   return boost::report_errors();
}

Boost.TypeTraits has defined some macros that make use of Boost.Test or 
an internal framework.

HTH,
Vicente
