Thanks.  I think the key thing I was missing was the appropriate
include, which I guess is necessary now but didn't used to be needed.
Here's a snippet of the code that seemed to work (I'm still having
problems, but I think they're unrelated):

#include <boost/version.hpp>
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp>
// I will try without the unit test namespace
// 1.32 using boost::test_toolbox::ostream_test_stream;
#if BOOST_VERSION>=103300
#include <boost/test/output_test_stream.hpp>
using boost::test_tools::output_test_stream;
#warning doing the 1.33 thing
#else
using boost::test_toolbox::output_test_stream;
#endif
