Hi, I'm having problems with the installation procedure. I'm using the
1.53 beta.

I have run the following:

  ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/unsup/boost-1.53.0/beta/common
--exec-prefix=/unsup/boost-1.53.0/beta/amd64_rhel6
  ./b2 --prefix=/unsup/boost-1.53.0/beta/common
--exec-prefix=/unsup/boost-1.53.0/beta/amd64_rhel6 -j12
  ./b2 --prefix=/unsup/boost-1.53.0/beta/common
--exec-prefix=/unsup/boost-1.53.0/beta/amd64_rhel6 -j12 install

however it is ignoring my --exec-prefix and installing everything to
/unsup/boost-1.53.0/beta/common.

I actually haven't really used --exec-prefix before I think, and have
just manually moved stuff around post-installation instead. But I
figured I'd try to do it "right" this time and actually use the tools
I've been given. :-) What am I doing wrong?

[Disclaimer: I made a typo originally and ran both bootstrap.sh and b2
with both --prefix and --exec-prefix set to ..../common. I did run './b2
clean' after that though.]
