In order to get the console tests to link properly for WinCE, some 
additional machinery is required.  You want the link command line to 
include the additional /entry:mainACRTStartup option to say that it 
should look for main and not WinMain as the entry point.  I do this with 
the following statement at the end of my user-config.jam:

project
: requirements
<toolset>msvc-9.0~wm5~stlport5.2,<user-interface>console:<linkflags>/entry:mainACRTStartup
;
