One more vote for "allow CMakeLists.txt in the places we allow Jamfiles".
To be clear, this is a vote to maintain status quo, as the guideline do allow cmake files to be where bjam files are(like in the build/ directory). What we are proposing is in addition to this, allow a cmake file to exists in the top- level of a library's repo. There is already library's that do this(such as hana and compute), so there hasn't been a technical problem with the tooling. However, we would like the wording in the guidelines to state in a more explicit manner that this is acceptable in order to avoid possible future problems.
Let the bigger questions be addressed separately.
What bigger question?
