Unfortunately, something new broke. Now when I run tests I'm seeing:

execute-test c:\build\bin\tmp\foo.test\cwpro9\debug-python\threading-multi\foo.run

set PATH=c:/tools/cwpro9\Win32-X86 Support\Libraries\Runtime;c:/tools/cwpro9\Win32-X86 Support\Libraries\Runtime\Libs\MSL_ALL-DLLs;%PATH%
c:\build\bin\tmp\foo.test\cwpro9\debug-python\threading-multi\foo.exe <sysinclude>@boost > c:\build\bin\tmp\foo.test\cwpro9\debug-python\threading-multi\foo.output 2>&1
...

Note the <sysinclude>@boost in the previous line. That screws
testing up completely.
