 # kpat code may include generated files, so by using any kpat file in the test
 # the test itself becomes dependent on the entire kpat target, even when not
 # using the target directly.
 # TODO: make libkpat a static library linked into the test and kpat itself so
 # the dependency order is "correct" and the compilation units are only built
 # once.
