New boost.test has support for this 
through two macros:

BOOST_TEST_UNDER_DEBUGGER

If you define this test module will 
compile in debugger friendly mode.

BOOST_TEST_DEBUGABLE

If you define this macro test module will 
perform assertions as usual if you run the 
test regularly and it will run in debugger 
friendly mode of you run under debugger 
(this only available on platforms where we 
can detect presence of debugger). The 
price you pay its extra compile time.
