I think this is the problem with this approach: any non-trivial library 
will quickly run out of time on the CI servers, some of which are rather 
slow.  Certainly Math and Multiprecision libraries had to be split into 
multiple jobs to get through CI testing.  I'm sure there are many others 
with similar issues.

Best, John.
