Hi Ovanes,

Thank you for reply.

IMHO there is no problem if:

- boost::test depends on boost::thread 

- boost::thread has no dependencies

- boost::thread::test depends on: boost::test + boost::thread

The problem is that Boost.Thread uses Boost.Test for tests. And that would have a cyclic dependency inside boost :( Furthermore, if Boost.Thread breaks it will break Boost.Test as well and it is unclear how such cyclically dependent tests are going to resolve such issues than.
