Installing files with boost

I would like my build system to "install" (or copy) built dlls and 
executables to a predefined location. (This way, I can set my 
PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH and run the program.)

Under Jam/MR, I would do this:

InstallBin $(MYOUTDIR) : test ;

The Jam/MR system would then, if I understand correctly, bind "test" 
to the built target file, and copy it.

Under Boost, I get this error message:

don't know how to make test.exe

(I have included working files at the end of this mail.)

This seems fundamental enough that I would think there is a way to do 
this under the Boost system. Is there?

Thanks,
