What about:

stage dist : libs//whatever ;

notfile postprocess-them-all : dist ;

The targets produced by 'dist' will be fed as sources to another main target, 
and that main targets will be built only after 'dist' is done installing 
targets.

The above uses my 'notfile' target that I've posted a while ago -- you can 
search the archive. I'll commit it tomorrow

HTH,
