   Hi Steve.

   For example... to get the libraries built into the 
boost-root/stage/lib folder and not get the headers (you have them in 
your boost-root/boost folder anyway) copied anywhere use the command:

> bjam stage --build-type=complete [...whatever-else-you-need...]

   To get the libraries built into xxx/lib where xxx is some folder of 
your choice do the following:
   > bjam stage --stagedir=xxx --build-type=complete 
[...whatever-else-you-need...]

   To get the libraries and headers installed into some location use the 
'install' target instead of 'stage' and --prefix=xxx to choose where to 
install them.

   Run 'bjam --help' from your boost root folder or look into Boost's 
Jamroot file to see a more detailed of these options and more...

   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
