 When trying to stage a library via

 {{{
 b2 -sBOOST_ROOT=c:\projects\boost-git\boost --stagedir=c:\stage
   c:/projects/boost-git/boost/libs/system/build//stage
 }}}

 the `--stagedir` option is ignored and
 `c:/projects/boost-git/boost/libs/system/build/stage` is used instead.

 Steven Watanabe says that this is because `BOOST_STAGE_LOCATE` is set
 in `boostcpp.jam`, but the `boost-install` rule is defined in `Jamroot`.

 He thinks that `boost-install` needs to be moved to `boostcpp.jam`.
