- No cmake, just bjam

Wait, what? Why would we want to remove functionality that already exists? I like the CMake script since it generates a Visual Studio project file (.vcxproj). Please don't take this away, its helpful.

+1 I'm not a huge fan of CMake, but then I'm not crazy about bjam either. I think library authors should have the option of including CMake files, just as they do files for appveyor, travis, etc. Of course bjam files would remain a requirement. The question of including stuff "outside" of boost is of course subject to dispute and discussion which I guess has to be handled on a case by case basis. In this case I think it's below the minimal threshold of obtrusiveness. CMake files to add some "clutter", but those who don't use/need can ignore them. So, if the author want's to, I believe he should be able to include CMake files. Robert Ramey
