Then I guess you've updated your thinking.

Part of the confusion seems to be that you think this is about boost
developers using cmake to develop their boost library.

It is not about that at all.

This is about boost-users who use cmake. Adding a CMakeLists file to any
random boost library does not help them. What I described in the link above
does help them.

Thanks,
