Actually, as a user I do care and not in favor of CMake because there is always a possibility that Boost requires a newer CMake version that is not available on my platform. We could embed the required CMake distribution in boost, compile it, and use it to build boost ? There's the build dependencies of cmake on Ubuntu: [...]
Are you going to include those as well? All the required dependencies (beside OpenSSL for cURL) are included with the CMake sources and it will optionally use those. We had problems with using the CMake versions of eg. cURL in our company and switched to using the system libraries. I think this might have to do with missing OpenSSL but cURL without TLS support is pretty useless today. So we were not able to build our own (usable) CMake without using system libraries.

It depends on the context. Will Boost's CMake reference anything over HTTPS or will it be self-contained? Probably self contained, so that wouldn't be a problem. If you require a full version of CMake, it is possible to build it using your system cURL, which isn't too difficult to build either.
