Why is the CMakeLists.txt not in the 'test' subdirectory, since it
appears from your explanation that the file is used for the tests ?

Its used to install the library as well.

Please add these explanations to Fit as you are not using Boost build to
build the doc or run the tests.

I will add them.

Also, I tried to add an initial Jamfile to build and run the tests as well. I
just modified the Jamfile from other boost libraries. However, I haven't
figured out how to run the tests yet using bjam to test my Jamfile. I get
"error: Did not find Jamfile.jam or Jamroot.jam in any parent directory". I am
not sure how I am supposed to run the tests.
