I just generated the list of dependencies, 28 packages, see below.  
Compile tests against each are easy enough.  Run tests against 
non-library packages are easy too.  It would be harder to do an 
exhaustive test against, say, dev-libs/boost because then we are a 
couple of libraries levels deep.  Not sure how deep is enough with this one.
