Unfortunately a lot of things in BB are not so obvios and can be easily 
misused.

I do not have much time to dig into BB docs. I've tried to follow the link.

I've added

install common_location
           : output_test_stream_test
           : <install-dependencies>on <install-type>LIB
           ;

to the test/Jamfile.v2

nothing happend.

What should I write and where, so that for every unit test that is linked 
with shared version of Boost.Test component the corresponding library that 
get's build as part of unit test compilation is copied in some common 
location, preferably <BOOST_ROOT>/stage?
