This appears to work but I would certainly appreciate a prettier solution...

#ifdef BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API
bool init_unit_test()                   {
#else
::boost::unit_test::test_suite*
init_unit_test_suite( int, char* [] )   {
#endif

  // Register some stuff

#ifdef BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API
    return true;
}
#else
    return 0;
}
#endif

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
#ifdef BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API
    return ::boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( &init_unit_test, argc, argv );
#else
    return ::boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( &init_unit_test_suite,
argc, argv );
#endif
}

Regardless of the prettiness of the solution, this would be helpful to
include in the manual at
