Devel Boost.Test can do much better:

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(foo)
{
  vector<float> a, b;

  BOOST_TEST( a == b, tolerance(1e-5) );
  BOOST_TEST( a <= b, percent_tolerance = 1e-5 );
}

BOOST_TEST_DECORATOR(
-tolerance = 1e-7
)
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(goo)
{
  vector<float> a, b;
  BOOST_TEST( a > b );
  BOOST_TEST( a != b );
}

e.t.c.
