I think whatever outcome of this discussion is, it should put all build systems in the same conditions. If the guideline is to put everything build-related into the build subdirectory then this should concern every build system a library happens to use, including Boost.Build, CMake, Makefiles, IDE projects and whatnot. If it's the library root then, again, all build system files should be there.
Personally, I don't like having lots of files in the root directory, so I slightly favor the current convention. I understand that it is not the typical setup for CMake, but it really isn't such a big deal as some in this discussion are trying to put it. I should say that many opensource projects practice a separate directory for build-related stuff and it doesn't hurt anyone (quite the contrary, I'd say).
which ones?
