As I understand, the person who contributed the Boost packaging to
Cygwin, could not compile Boost.Test :
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-08/msg00391.html

I currently have Boost 1.33.1 on Cygwin, and Boost.Test is not included.

I figured, if they couldn't build it, there is little hope for me,
because I'm relatively new to Boost, and I don't have a very deep
understanding of Cygwin either.

There are no issues building 1.33.1 from the sources on Cygwin?
