[boost] boost building question

Hi,

In the Jamfile help it says:

--builddir=DIR          Build in this location instead of building
                             within the distribution tree. Recomended!

Does this mean the build is not the same as the install, i.e. while 
building, files are being stored somewhere and removed after final 
installation?

Thank you,

H.
