AFAICT, you do the same thing I do, i.e. create a dummy Jamroot and a 
project-config.jam file containing the toolset configuration. This works, 
but I was precisely trying to avoid it since it's not as clean and easy as

    cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-3.7

I guess this is the only way to do it with Boost.Build, so it's fine.
