Hi,

In 99.9% of the time, you do not need this functionality. The automatic
test registration just works, and with any variants (shared included).

For shared, you need to define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK=1 and a single
translation unit /per executable/ containing either BOOST_TEST_MAIN or
BOOST_TEST_MODULE.

Can I help getting on tracks?
