I've observed that the serialization library tests fail on lot's of 
platforms even though they seem to pass on similar configurations on my 
system.

The changes I've made don't provoke re-build of the library and the tests 
don't explicitly depend on the files changed. (I'm not sure how to specify 
such a dependency in a jamfile).  The DO depend on some of these files but 
since the file name is specified through a macro, I don't believe that bjam 
is seeing the change and hence not rebuilding the tests.  I did change one 
test....cpp and if fact it started to pass.

Is there a way that I can request that all the *.cpp files in the the 
libs/serialization/test be "touched"?
