Bug Description

The unittests are using google test. At the time, we chose that because the minimum boost version we accepted was too early for boost::test to be sensibly used, but at that time there were no other real differences found.

The API is almost identical... and since we already require boost, it would make more sense to remove the gtest requirement and just use boost.
