I was able get Boost.Test to work on my Cygwin with GCC 4.5.3.

Thanks a lot Vicente! I've changed ScopeExit tests to use
Boost.Detail/LightweightTest instead of Boost.Test and now the tests give
sensible errors also on Sun :)

Next I'll either be able to fix these errors or mark the Sun tests n/a.
