Can we, and what is the best way to, achieve functionality such that this:

> > > > git clone git_at_[hidden]:boostorg/hana.git
> > > > mkdir build && cd build
> > > > cmake ../hana/
> > > > cmake --build .
> > > > cmake --build . --target check
> > > > cmake --build . --target install

works for the people who want a standalone Hana, and yet this

> > > mkdir build && cd build
> > > cmake ../boost
> > > cmake --build . --target hana
> > > cmake --build . --target hana-check
> > > cmake --build . --target install

also works? (And in that latter case,

    cmake --build .
    cmake --build . --target check

to work as well, building and testing everything.)
