stage target

First of all, I recently found out about the stage rule. I'm using it now to
install libraries and binaries in $(ALL_LOCATE_TARGET)lib and 
$(ALL_LOCATE_TARGET)bin directories respectively.

I would like to put them elsewhere however but apparantly it's not
possible to provide an absolute path to the stage rule. For instance
I might want to install the libraries in $HOME/lib. Is this possible.

So for the moment, my stage rule might look like :

stage ../../../../lib : <lib>bindings_lapack ;

(This is the rule to install the lapack bindings (as in the boost-sandbox)
into a lib subdirectory). However when executing this
rule he tries to create the directory existing directories which generates
a lot of errors : 

MkDir1 /home/tk/cvstop/DO/libs/numeric/bindings/lapack/..
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/tk/cvstop/DO/libs/numeric/bindings/lapack/..': File exists
