It is for sure that I didn't build anything separate in boost (of cause 
exept the "date_time" library ) and things more or less work for me.
I have just to projects in my solution - second is unit_test_framework 
and I doesn't link with external boost libraries. You can try to compile 
and execute the following code (without any external linking):
Good luck!

// BOOST_TEST_TEST.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp> 

using namespace boost::unit_test;

void test1_suit1() { 
        BOOST_REQUIRE(false);
}

void test2_suit1() { 
        BOOST_REQUIRE(false);
}

void test1_suit2() { 
        BOOST_REQUIRE(false);
}

test_suite*	init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
        test_suite*	master_test_unit = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Master");

        test_suite* ts_1 = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "test_suite1" );
    ts_1->add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &test1_suit1), 1 );
        ts_1->add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &test2_suit1), 1 );

        test_suite* ts_2 = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "test_suite2" );
        ts_2->add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &test1_suit2), 1 );
        /**Add test suites here in order to run them**/
        master_test_unit->add(ts_1);
        master_test_unit->add(ts_2);
        return master_test_unit;
}
