Add "/" before the target reference.

I've just tried this:

exe hello : hello.cpp ;
unit-test hello.ut : hello ;

You need a different name for unit-test target in this case. Otherwise, V2
will consider both exe and unit-test to be different alternatives of the
same target. BTW, why do you need the above?

That should not happen? Which V2 version do you use? In M10
(http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/~ghost/Milestone_10_preview/), which is due
soon, the 'unit-test' rule adds the proper DLL paths.
