If it is, how far has the effort gotten?  I have a few tiny utilities written in C++ currently built and installed with GNU make, which I'd like to replace with something more portable, and I don't want to learn bjam and bbv2 if their replacement is around the corner.

You are safe in learning Boost.Build, it's not going away anytime soon.

There are growing number of projects using CMake. The most notable one being KDE itself. So I would think, CMake is *really* not going away anytime soon. CMake has no other requirement than cmake itself (a stand alone executable). 2cts -- Mathieu

Unless I am misreading something, Roman did not ask if CMake is going away as the build system of KDE -- and presumably, such question would be better asked at kde-devel mailing list anyway.

Spot on.

I think I gave an accurate answer regarding Boost.Build and its use for the Boost C++ Libraries, and any further discussion/comparison of build systems is probably off-topic on this list.

Yup, you did, thank you. -- Roman Neuhauser
