It is possible to do directly, but you must specify an obj target for 
each source file:
obj a : a.cpp : <location>obj-location ;

The install rule will copy them to a different location, but not build 
them there to begin with. To build them there, you must use the 
<location> feature. But moving the libs instead via install is probably 
easier.
