I have a working prototype: https://github.com/raffienficiaud/boost-cmake

Please give a try, it is very easy to use and it is still working.

Thanks, I had a quick glance from my mobile, but didn't have the time to have a proper look. I'll do sometime this week. One early piece of feedback: I don't see why header-only libraries should be treated significantly different from normal libraries as far as cmake is concerned

[...] I would be happy to discuss about this offline, with a set of interested people. The issues on your github project seem a good place - or do you want to do this via email?

In particular, the design is not intrusive and it lets library expose their cmake inside boost or independently.

While non-intrusive design is a good thing for an external add-on, when you can't modify the original, I think boost should strive for a solution, where cmake is an integrated & independent part of each individual library. Best Mike
