Yea, because I don't think V1 can refer to test targets in other Jamfile,
and V2 can be only used after release.

You mean this:

   local rule get-library-name ( path )
   {
       local match1 = [ MATCH [/\\]libs[/\\](.*)[/\\]test : $(path) ] ;

I'm not sure:

ghost_at_zigzag:/tmp$ bjam -f-
ECHO [ MATCH [/\\]libs[/\\](.*)[/\\]test :
bin\\boost\\libs\\numeric\\ublas\\test1\\test1.test ] ;
numeric\ublas\test1

It's numeric\ublas\test1, not numeric\ublas.
