Would it be possible to have one Boost::XYZ library for each header-only library XYZ?

It's possible in principle; my first iteration did have targets for all libraries. I'd however prefer to get a release out using this scheme first, to see how it fares in the field.

Wait. Are you saying you first want to get a Boost release out that's entirely built with CMake, but built monolithically as in the past ?

Either you haven't paid any attention to the discussions on this list over recent years, or you expressly ignore the opinions voiced by the participants. Which is it ?

No need to fetch your pitchfork just yet. As far as I can tell, Peter didn't mention building boost with cmake anywhere. Just letting b2 auto generate the config files that allow cmake projects to use an installed boost library. I guess what Peter meant (please correct me if I'm wrong) was that he wanted test that mechanism with a real boost release before adding more features to it (if at all). Mike
