Given that the Jamfile in libs/test/build/test_exec_monitor should have
this:

subproject libs/test/build/test_exec_monitor ;

That's the path that is required to refer to targets there. Including it
from fromwhere else doesn't change it's subproject path.

For shorter names you'll have to wait for Boost.Build V2, as that will
support project IDs.
