The right way to construct your test module for now is to follow an example
located in 

boost-trunk\libs\test\tools\console_test_runner\test\test_runner_test.cpp

I do agree that it should probably work with regular definition as well. Unix
implementation would be nice either ;) I was hoping we'd have
Boost.Process/Boost.Extension by now. If I have a time I'll fix it before the
release.

As for the docs they are pretty much absent for this usage variant. And it
doesn't look like I'll have time and endurance to pull it through for this
component.
