3rd party libraries are supposed to be tested already, if you 
want to test it, you should go and properly run its test suite. 
Whatever template unittests you accidentally instantiated in your 
code mean nothing with respect to overall correctness.

The library can be tested only when it's compiled in unittest 
mode as a whole. When you link with its release version its 
unittests are not even compiled at all.
