Well, again, I will inform you that I am both linking to the 
unit-test-framework-s library AND getting the undefined reference error 
(and yes, I know what an undefined reference is).

Furthermore, until using BOOST_CHECK instead of BOOST_ASSERT, the unit 
test ran just fine...and this would not be possible without a main() or 
a link to that library!  I mean, all you need to do is follow the 
conversation to see that.

You can claim it is not happening all you want, that doesn't change the 
facts of what I am experiencing.  Your insistence that I'm not seeing 
the problem I am seeing is likewise non-productive.  Just say you don't 
know what the hell is going on, don't tell me I'm imagining things!

You're assuming I'm an idiot, requiring me to constantly reiterate and 
justify what I see, and I don't see how that helps anyone.
