Ahh-ha! You may want to check the latest upstream commits ;-)

* configure.ac: Don't add boost_unit_test_framework to global LIBS, we
will link against it directly when needed.
* Makefile.am: Only allow unit_tests to be built if
boost_unit_test_framework was available at configure time.

* configure.ac: Use boost_filesystem as the library to test for when
trying to guess a suitable BOOST_SUFFIX. Make a missing
boost_unit_test_framework library a non-fatal error.

Unfortunately it seems to crash at once, but I guess on that we can help
