Good ! Then I am sure you will be glad to be nominated as the person who
converts all instances of the Boost Build use of this feature,
You can nominate about whatever you like, but I am not volunteering
for anything in boost.  It takes forever to get anything done.
I think the point wasn't so much to nominate you,
Au contraire, he quite specifically nominates me in the first line I
quoted and further implies that I will be happy about it.
The question he raised was whether or not CMake supports this kind of
feature testing and I simply pointed out that it has been supported
for many years.
Why he goes further and tries to volunteer me for work is beyond my
understanding.
It's because you misread the post that you
responded to:
...
...
...it will be difficult
translating this to CMake terms, if such a similar feature exists in
CMake.
CMake has supported this for years, it is not a blocking issue.
...
From Edward's later responses, it seems clear that he really
did mean exactly what he said rather than "...if a similar
feature *does not* exist...", which is what you responded to.
