it would be pretty amazing if a boost cmake project could be organized
in a way, so that i can simply be included into other cmake projects and
the required boost libraries would be built on demand (i'm currently
doing this in two independent projects for a subset of boost, though i'm
not sure if this could be a good generic workflow ...
