Thanks for the suggestions.  I believe that if you force all your test
programs to get thrown into ${XXX_BINARY_DIR}, you could do the
ADD_TEST without specifying ${XXX_BINARY_DIR}/testname -- just
testname would suffice.

Oh and when someone says "If you can wade through the boost sources" I
draw my revolver.  Boost is one of those things that has all sorts of
great goodies, but when you look at actually using it, the
build/config/etc system is a deal breaker.  And you can never just use
one thing from Boost -- everything in Boost has itself been Boosted,
so it doesn't seem to ever decompose into independent modules.

Not trying to give you grief, just an observation. ;-)
