It sounds ok, I do not know how else it could be solved on Windows, at
least to be able to easily set up automatic testing.

I used to work with projects that had multiple small unit tests and it
was quite neat solution. Do you think it would be much harder to apply
the same rules here? If so, I would not mind having one-to-one relation
between targets and tests, especially that one can easily separate tests
using boost.test judging from the screenshot you posted.
