Replying to [comment:3 Max-Might]:
But UnitTestsLib adds a dependency to libcppunit.so and it confuses jam.
Good point, I missed that. Symlinks have the problem that they never are
never updated and thus e.g. ignorant to `DEBUG` level changes. I usually

it's just very old and didn't receive much consideration when the build
system was restructured later on.
