So I setup a repo to build and install Boost.System as well, here:

https://github.com/pfultz2/boost-cmake-demo

This is following the best practices as explained in Daniel Pfeifer’s “Effective Cmake” talk(except the globbing subdirectories, I did that just to save time). It also very similar to the boost cmake repo written by Daniel Pfeifer and Stephen Kelley. 

This example can be used to build and install modular or in the superproject. Plus, it produces the find_package files, so you can do `find_package(boost_system)`.
