Research direction

Start with the CMakeLists.txt added about a week before this issue and compare its listed dependencies with what Boost.Test itself uses. Check MPL and the other dependencies, separating library requirements from those needed only by tests or examples. Done means the dependency list reflects Boost.Test's actual requirements while preserving dependencies for its tests and examples.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It seems like the CMakeLists.txt that was added a week ago lists a bunch of dependencies that boost test doesn't actually depend on, except for it's own tests/examples. MPL seems to be one example but there may be others.
