It has been a while since I looked at the "Getting started with CMake  
and Boost" documentation but I would definitely make sure something  
clear and concise is written up so that those developers coming over  
from bjam will have a comfortable place to start. The last thing I  
want it a bad experience from new Boost/CMake users.

I am part way through getting the testing to build correctly on OS X  
(My primary machine) at the moment. Dave A. talked about giving me  
write access to the svn repository to commit my changes that I have  
been doing, not sure how that works so I'll let the boost folks  
discuss that. I have zip up the cmake related files and post/send  
those so you can see where I am at.
