Would the community be interested in modular CMake support for more modules? Any comments, questions, critiques or suggestions are welcome.
First and foremost, thank you for your interest and for working on this! It has been said many times before, but it bears repeating: good CMake support would lower Boost adoption barriers for a large number of C++ developers. CMake's FindBoost.cmake interface is awkward to use sometimes, but it is how most CMake applications use Boost these days. If we could provide a drop-in replacement that builds from a source repository on an as-needed basis, it would get a ton of immediate use. Something worth considering. It may also be useful to check out this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eH4hMKl7XE where I discuss designing CMake builds in a way that facilitates inter-operation between different library builds. Good luck, David Sankel
