                Is there a way to automatically run an exe target after it's
been built?

        I don't know of a direct way, but perhaps you can glean how to do so
from the testing.jam file. I use the 'run' rule from it to execute my unit
(regression) tests during compilation.

Yup. I've been looking at that rule. I'm trying to see if there's an easy
way to have a "runnable" target depend on an exe target, so that it doesn't
build another executable...
