Thanks, for that... My overworked brain overlooked this the first time.

Yes. The testing target all support specifying the target name, 
independent of the sources compiled. The "target-name" corresponds to 
the executable it creates, AFAIR...

rule compile ( sources + : requirements * : target-name ? )
rule compile-fail ( sources + : requirements * : target-name ? )
rule link ( sources + : requirements * : target-name ? )
rule link-fail ( sources + : requirements * : target-name ? )
rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements *
   : target-name ? : default-build * )
rule run-fail ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements *
   : target-name ? : default-build * )
