All of these arguments depend solely on the existence of build/, regardless of whether it contains a CMakeLists.txt or not. For separately compiled libraries, build/ *must* exist because that's the layout that we've chosen for Boost.Build.

Thats the layout for Boost.Build, but what about cmake?

It's not a Boost Build layout.. It's a "Boost C++ Libraries" layout. It's what the community of library authors decided as a directory layout for libraries. We are free to change it after discussions, consensus, etc. But probably not a discussion for this thread ;-)

Yes, lets not go there.
