`DESTINATION .`? Where does this put the module files? In /usr?

No. It places them under ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./modules/${LIB}.cxx.

If we assume the default prefix of /usr, this means /usr/modules/core.cxx, which doesn't seem quite right on a number of levels.

My instinct was to call the source file boost_core.cppm, and it seems like it was correct.

The current convention for modules seems to be either CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR or CMAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR.

True. Will change it.
