Hi Steven,

Thanks a lot for your help, the last you gave works... partially ;) so 
effectively the installed libraries are not re-installed every time i 
run bjam but it copies them twice, once in the specified installed 
directory and once in the current directory so this has no effect in the 
example because i installed them in the current directory but if you try 
to install them somewhere else you'll see that it keeps installing in 
the current directory + the specified directory.

Try it with this code :

use-project boost : ../source/trunk/libs/boost ;

# Project Configuration
project
    : build-dir build
    : requirements
        <include>.
        <dependency>/boost/filesystem/<link>shared
        <dependency>/boost/system/<link>shared
   
    : source-location
        .
    ;
                               
install system :            /boost/system :
                            <location>./dlls
                            <install-type>SHARED_LIB
                            ;
                           
install filesystem :        /boost/filesystem :
                            <location>./dlls
                            <install-type>SHARED_LIB
                            ;

exe test : main.cpp ;

The generated boost dlls end up in both current and dlls directories.

I think the most difficult is done, just need to fix that small issue 
and i will be perfect !!!

One more time thank you very you are going to make us save a lot of time
