Dear all,
unless I'm encountering an overwhelming resistance to this idea here on the ml, I intend to create a batch of PRs that introduce minimal cmake support to a large subset of boost libraries (maybe even all).
The practical problem for most libraries, which are largely header-only, is converting the library jamfile for tests and building docs into CMake terms.
That's not what the proposed minimal support is about (IIUC). The goal here is for people to be able to use a local installation of Boost (as cloned from Github, perhaps as a submodule) from their CMake projects by including the top-level CMakeLists.txt and then linking to the appropriate imported targets. Tests, docs, are not in scope. Neither is building multiple variants, staging, or installation.
