 Currently boost_test allows specific test suites and tests to be run using
 the flag --run_test=suite/test or --run_test=suite/* etc.

 If test suite B depends on test suite A then --run_test=B/* will not run
 any tests as the dependency on A prevents B from running.

 I would suggest the introduction of a new flag --allow_dependent_test=true
 (default false) to preserve current behavior but to allow the targeted
 running of specific tests along with their dependencies in the future.
