The CMakeLists.txt file should be in the top-level directory.

Hmmmm - says who? I realize that this is the common way to do it. But it ends up sprinkling CMakeList.txt files all over the place. Doing it the way I've done makes supporting CMake much less intrusive and leaves the "footprint" of CMake support on par with build (boost build) easily permitting the user to select which he prefers.

LOL - can you believe that in 13 years (since the copyright date 2003) I've never seen this - or at least never remember seeing this?

I can believe it :-) It's some times easier some times to just copy what others are doing and looking up docs. Had I been around at the beginning and had perfect vision 15 years into the

future, I would have advocated for a structure <library name> build boost_build

Good idea.. But indeed 15 years late. doc
