[Boost-build] Re-run unit tests on exe target update

Hi,

I'm using the 'unit-test' rule to compile and run some tests that depend on 
a server application. The test fixtures start the server, run the tests and 
then stop the server app.

The server app is an installed target in the same main project. I've managed 
to set up a dependency on the installed target in the unit-test target, but 
this causes all test code to get rebuilt and I would like to just re-run the 
unit test target without rebuilding.

This is basically how I've set it up currently (pseudo-code):

[server Jamfile]

exe server ... ;

install bin : server : ... ;

[unit-test Jamfile]

unit-test footest
    : foo.cpp : <dependency>path-to-server-project//bin ;
