Yes, that seems to be the ongoing rationale for Cmake. That doesn't 
remove the need for us to test that Boost builds and works correctly in 
all those other build systems. And when it doesn't work users are not 
likely going to bother Kitware, they will complain to us. We will then 
have to figure out if it's a problem in our Cmake scripts, or in Cmake 
itself. And then forward the problem on to Kitware.
