Oh, nasty.  If your tests use the Boost.Test library your library
shows up as dependent on all of its dependencies.  So for example
the iterators library is showing up as dependent on all of these,
on which it does *not* depend.

boost/detail/binary_search.hpp
boost/test/detail/fixed_mapping.hpp
libs/test/src/unit_test_result.cpp
libs/test/src
boost/test/detail/basic_cstring/basic_cstring_fwd.hpp
boost/test/detail/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp
boost/test/detail/unit_test_config.hpp
boost/test/execution_monitor.hpp
libs/test/src/execution_monitor.cpp
