Hi,
I actually don't understand the problem. When you run "bjam" in "executable" 
directory, it means you want to update only targets defined there and 
dependencies of those targets. So you get the "executable" built, and you 
get ..//foo built. Nothing asks for the unit test to be built. 

Why do you expect the unit test to be built in this case?
