PS. But the page talks about using CMake (i.e replacing bjam???) Aren't we mixing two problems? (the build system used vs. the way libraries are organized)

I guess CMake is not as powerful as bjam, and therefore requires the libraries to be more modularized. But this is not really the fault of CMake, since it only generates the build-environments for a variety of existing build tools (like Visual Studio, KDevelop, eclipse, "classic" unix make, ...), so it somehow has to limit the allowed non-modularity to what the "weakest" of the supported build-environments supports.
