3. Submit pull requests to all libs to update their build scripts for cmake This will definitely be the most time-consuming part but if we did a library a day every day, we'd be done in like a year! We're already done because all of Boost builds (and installs) with CMake.
In general, I agree with Richard's sentiment. b2 is holding Boost back... It's interesting that nobody considers the possibility that b2 is in fact a better build system than CMake, and consequently, that switching from b2 to CMake will actually make things _worse_ in some, if not many, respects. Correct. There's this axiomatic assumption that dropping b2 will automatically improve things, somehow, and I don't think it's true or warranted.
You speak truth.
