I was completely unaware of the boost-cmake ML

It seems a bit hidden from the front page, one has to browse lists.boost.org for full list of MLs.

A bit of judicious selective cross-posting to the user or developer lists might bring progress (or snags) with Cmake to a wider public?

Valid point. I understand that may be the case indeed. OTOH, I think, the CMake has become a delicate topic in Boost. Every time I want to ask about any kind of use of CMake in Boost, I fear that will make the snowball rolling down the hill, again :) For instance, I wish Boost offered CMake support library, review eg. BCM and let it in. I'm not speaking of building Boost with CMake, no! I mean joint development of support scripts for Modern CMake which are useful for those Boost library developers who wish to add CMake configuration (along the official BB2), for convenience. I think such bunch of Boost for CMake scripts would foster better common practices. Currently, there is bunch of CMake-enabled libraries, each developed in isolation, each using different conventions, techniques, custom macros, modules. Lately, I was adding CMake setup for Boost.GIL. It made me wondering why the BCM thing is not in boost/tools/bcm. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
