Just to clarify, you are proposing that a library author may add CMakeLists.txt at the top level, while Jamfile is required to be in the 'build' subdirectory?
I am strongly -1 about such an arrangement - it makes unofficial build system more prominently visible than the official one,
I don't think that's a a big problem for libraries, as the most visible part of the build system is still the superproject's Jamroot.
It is still a problem when somebody looks at sources of a particular library, say on GitHub.
This is a feature, one that will likely mean a significant number of extra users. There is no confusion out there as to whether or not boost is built with CMake. -- David
