No, it does not. I've tried a few things to get msys to detect it (I built the boost unit test framework when I installed and configured boost and that seemed to worked), but no luck. To build QuantLib with msys, I do the following:

 * copy the boost include files into C:\msys\1.0\local\include   (these get detected properly when building QuantLib)
 * in msys, type: export CPPFLAGS="-I/local/include"
 * in msys, type "configure"
 * in msys, type "make"
 * in msys, type "make install"

that all works fine (aside from the small problem with the "install" step mentioned earlier)

So to try and get it to detect the unit test framework, I copied the compiled boost_unit_test_framework files into C:\msys\1.0\local\lib and then instead typed: export CPPFLAGS="-I/local/include -L/local/lib" , hoping that the configure script would detect the unit test framework then. But unfortunately it still does not. Perhaps what I am doing is completely naive, I'm not really sure.
