I think that's planned for CMake too.

Heh, you didn't have to.  You could have used Daniel's Ryppl Cmake
framework on which the latest modularized Boost is based :-)

https://github.com/ryppl/boost-zero/

* The cmake/ subdirectory contains the CMakeLists.txt files for Boost

* The ryppl/ submodule contains Ryppl's CMake facilities in its
  cmake/Modules direcotry

But by all means, stay with premake if it's working for you.  It would
be interesting to hear from you later about what worked (or didn't).
