What is the official stance on CMake adoption? Is if simply a fork in the development, or will all of Boost eventually be built using CMake?
I don't think that Boost has an "official" position on CMake. Actually, Boost doesn't have very many "official positions" on anything - that's one reason we love it! Speaking for myself. I include CMake files as part of the serialization library. It doesn't conflict with boost in any way. I use it to build and test the boost serialization library every day. For more about this, see "Simple Tools" in the Boost library incubator. I encourage others to follow this practice. I can't predict the future, but I see a big future for CMake in boost. Some years ago, there was a very large effort to switch boost to use CMake. This was a failure. I believe that this was due to the manner that this effort was attempted rather than any inherent issues related to CMake itself. Not that CMake doesn't have issues - I've found that all the build/test systems have them. I see a big future for CMake in boost.
