And it will work for trivial test presented by the user:

OK. I'm obviously missing something. Where in the boost documentation does it say that I should be compiling code with the DYN_LINK flags if I am NOT building a library?
I'd really like to read that rationale, because it simply makes no sense to me.
I understand the "BOOST_TEST_MAIN" but the BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK does not make sense. The link decision is totally independent of the compilation UNLESS the code is being built to be included in a library. This is obviously not the case here, as an executable, not a library, is being built.
This is not true for NT, ergo it's not true in general.
You reference this in your previous reply to me (I'll reply to that one tomorrow, from work), but I can not find that documentation. Maybe a bit more specific about where I can find it, please.
