You could before, you just had to build Boost first.

boost_unit_test_framework is only required for the unit tests. I've
committed a change to configure.ac in
65f85490cb920bc9f9e2886b48b5a00f38d37fea that makes a missing
unit_test_framework library a non-fatal error. With this change, monotone
builds without any problems under a recent install of Cygwin.
Unfortunately, the resulting binary crashes immediately. I suspect this
will be due to a static initialization problem (we've seen these before on
different platforms when doing ports of monotone), but I haven't had time to
dig into it yet.
Cheers,
