Actually, as a user I do care and not in favor of CMake because there is always a possibility that Boost requires a newer CMake version that is not available on my platform.
This, too, concerns me.
b2 builds on everything, and is included in every boost distribution. It is apparently built with such consideration that I can use it on ridiculously old versions of gcc without breaking a sweat.
Again, CMake builds everywhere too. The latest version is 7.3MB. I don't think this particular issue is anything to worry about -- if people still want a bootstrapping Boost+CMake, it's trivial to do so. Zach
