You must link to a Boost lib that uses the same runtime as both your project 
and STLport, for:

/MD  use  libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-p.lib
/MDd use  libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-gdp.lib

Both of these are static libraries BTW, dll import libraries don't have the 
"lib" prefix to them.

BTW I strongly recomend that you use /MDd for debug builds, using /MD and 
then the IDE defining _DEBUG can casue problems with third party libs 
including Boost and STLport.

Finally remember that Boost debug libraries are built with __STL_DEBUG 
defined: you'll need to define this in your own code in order to link 
against them.
