That depends :-))
Well, the documentation is not up-to-date, so I think the best way is to 
consider BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN as deprecated. 

At least

works just fine for me. ;-))

The question _how_ to handle the platform specific issues (Win32 mostly) 
is going on right now. The best solution is to link statically when not 
using BOOST_AUTO_TEST at the moment.
