Yikes, I thought this was supposed to make things simpler/better?
It was, the problem is that cmake doesn't properly support variants at all.
Whatever we end up with, it needs to be something that cmake-o-phobes like myself that have never looked inside a cmake file can still maintain relatively easily.
With regard to Windows / msvc usage, I see two main usage requirements:
1) The ability to build all the variants we do at present, so that folks can just build Boost as they do now, and then point their IDE at the directory containing the .lib files.
Wouldn't vcpkg be *the* way to acquire boost (and other libs)? -- Olaf
