 [https://github.com/boostorg/test/commit/86bcffea6dfb2513142c42721bf2af3e80ea068d

 commit 86bcffe] Boost.Test was changed to define a variable called
 {{{VERSION}}}.  This collides with a {{{#define VERSION}}} usually defined
 by the GNU Autotools.

 My workaround at this point is to {{{#undef VERSION}}} before
 {{{#include}}}ing Boost.Test but that's not tractable (I'm not gonna chase
 down every single use of Boost.Test in our large codebase).
