Boost.Test documentation contains no linking instructions

Description
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/tutorials/new-year-resolution.html has the following instructions for running example: "Now I can compile it and link with the unit test framework." But how to link?! No mention in this page or any before. If the user reads documentation sequentially this is confusing.
Even more if you read documentation till end you won't find how UTF static/shared library is called. Someone would it expect it to be described at
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide/usage-variants/static-lib-variant.html or
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide/usage-variants/dynamic-lib-variant.html
but again it is not there.
The only way to find this out is to do a #grep <unresolved_symbols_you_got> /usr/local/lib/libboost_*

I believe this is now well covered in the doc (currently develop: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/test/doc/html/index.html)
