Standalone Outcome would remain cmake based. I have no love nor use case
for bjam personally.

(the bigger answer is that the cmake build support is entirely
implemented by the boost-lite git submodule because it's a universal
build system for a distributed collection of standards aspiring
libraries. The CMakeLists in the Outcome root is just a set of
parameters for that universal build system. As some people consider git
submodules to be a showstopper, that makes impossible cmake build
support in the Boost.Outcome script generated repo because the submodule
with the cmake build support must be removed)
