[boost] Forcing rebuild of tests when headers change

I've changed the headers of boost.thread several times recently, and it has
become apparent that those testers doing incremental runs are not picking up the
changes, and are thus not rebuilding the tests. This is especially problematic
when the library files change too --- the libraries are rebuilt, but the tests
are not, which leads to linker errors or crashes depending on the nature of the
mismatch.

Is there a way to make boost build aware of the headers belonging to a specific
library, so changes to those headers will force recompilation of anything
dependent on that library?

Thanks,

Anthony
