the install rule is explained here.

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/tasks/installing.html


So basically in your Jamfile you define an install rule so that when you do bjam install, it wil copy the built files to specific locations.

In my project I have the folowwing setup

Jamroot
    [contains general info  + custom help]
    ExeDir
       Jamfile
       [contains info on exe target + install for the exe]
    Library1Dir
       Jamfile
       [contains info on exe target + install for the library]
    Library2Dir
       Jamfile
       [contains info on exe target + install for the library]

take a look a the boost  distribution folder...

p.s. I'm not sure but I think you should adress these questions to the boost build mailing list.
