* create a cmake build tree only for a subset of boost. Say you want to compile only library X that depends on other libraries Y and Z, and only X,Y and Z will be added to the cmake project.

Is this second use case a good scenario for you?
A use-case I'd like to see supported: * allow an individual project to be built against prerequisite boost libraries that are pre-installed on the system (no matter whether that installation was done manually or using some system package management, as is common on Linux). This is a precondition for considering Boost project repos as truly independent, as the two use-cases you suggest above would still imply a dependency on the source repo level, rather than the package level.
