Hi all,

I'm currently converting cppunit tests to Boost.Test.
Boost test auto-registration is awesome !

I'm now facing a problem and need help from Boost community.

mytest -> libFoo.so -> libBar.a

Let's say I have a dynamic library Foo which depends on a static library 
Bar.
I created an executable mytest which uses Foo library. It doesn't know 
about Bar library.

So far, I successfully created test cases in mytest for Foo library 
using the public library interface (exported symbols).
I just figured out how to create test cases inside Foo library (for 
internal non-exported classes) using console_test_runner utility.

Question: how do I test code inside Bar static library ?

Regards,
Jeremy
