1. You can't do what you're trying ;-) For example, the Boost.Test library has 
several library targets, and all of the define "main". If you link them all 
together you'll either get link error, or underfined behaviour. No other 
library has this problem, as far as I know.

2. I am not aware about any defines needed specifically for OSX, but you might 
want to check tools/v1/darwin-tools.jam for the compiler flags that are 
passed.
