In general, I agree with Richard's sentiment. b2 is holding Boost back and nowadays, even packagers are moving on from it and are building Boost purely via CMake or are relying on Boost's CMake support.
Maybe I missed something, but I was unable to build with b2 with a clang based Cray compiler. I can understand why since it's not publicly available (it's a PITA with most tools actually) but CMake was able to do the job. Maybe that's a corner case, it's difficult to know how many unknown compilers are out there. -- Alain
