First off, congrats, I'm glad to see this project moving forward. 
Providing support for a de-facto standard build system like CMake can 
only improve the lives of Boost users, and that's the most important thing.

How does this effect the lives of Boost developers? My day-to-day work 
occasionally involves changing jamfiles. Will I also need to edit CMake 
files? Or is there a CMake build system champion who will be working to 
keep the two build systems in sync?
