location of dlls

With the switch of default to the shared libraries I started
to expirience 
one significant inconvinience: I can't rerun test modules
after bjam is 
done.  The reason is that Boost.Test dll is not in a path I
have to jump 
through hoops to make it run.

Would it be possible to setup BB to place all DLLs into
stage directory? 
Than I can add to the path and hopefully it will work.

You can use the 'install' rule to place DLL into any
directory you like.
You can use 'explicit' on the name of the install rule, if
you don't
want that staging to happen automatically.

bjam toolset=... install produces

"don't know how to make" responce.

Do you mean I need to add something into Jamfile?

Can you just give me explicit text to put into my Jamfile?

Genandiy -

Install is described in detail in the documents. It will do
exactly what
you need.

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?
