I'm actually curious how much if would've sufficed to just simply add a
test/CMakeLists.txt that just did:

    boost_test_jamfile(...)

and then you just generate the solution from the boost-root, as is the
standard for Boost.

Interestingly, I would've had to manually add this for my own workflows as
I use clangd which is based on a compile_commands.json. Without tests,
there would've been nothing to compile.
