If you are auto-generating CMakeLists.txt, please, make sure that the 
generated CMakeLists.txt replicate configuration checks that are 
performed in the Jamfile. For example, Boost.Log has a number of 
elaborate checks, which I don't think can be converted automatically.

If this cannot be done (and you are not willing to do this manually), 
please, don't commit an incomplete CMakeLists.txt. In this case you 
could create an issue to ask the maintainer for help.
