You bet there will.  I'm just now trying to put everything in a

It's hard to say how soon Boost will make the transition, or even if

Boost's use thereof.  However, I predict that Boost *will* make that
transition

Heh.  IMO BB hasn't been the True Way for quite some time.  But of
course that's just IMO.  I'm going to try hard to encourage the use of
CMake on Ryppl.
