[Boost-cmake] Boost Tools are NOT being built

I was trying to get the Boost-cmake to build bcp for me and generally  
no matter what I put in for BUILD_TOOLS none of the tools are built.

   Seems I have traced the problem to this line in tools/CMakeLists.txt

   foreach(tooldir
       ${tooldirs}
       )
                message(STATUS "tooldir: ${tooldir}")
     get_filename_component(tooldirname ${tooldir} NAME)
     list(FIND BUILD_TOOLS ${tooldir} THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX)
                message(STATUS "THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX: ${THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX}")
     if ((THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX GREATER -1) OR (BUILD_TOOLS STREQUAL  
"ALL"))
       message(STATUS "+ ${tooldirname}")
       add_subdirectory(${tooldir})
     endif()

The output from running CMake is this:

-- Reading tools... 
-- 
-- tooldir: /Users/Shared/OpenSource/imikejacksons-boost-cmake/tools/bcp
-- THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX: -1
-- tooldir: /Users/Shared/OpenSource/imikejacksons-boost-cmake/tools/ 
inspect
-- THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX: -1
-- tooldir: /Users/Shared/OpenSource/imikejacksons-boost-cmake/tools/ 
quickbook
-- THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX: -1
-- tooldir: /Users/Shared/OpenSource/imikejacksons-boost-cmake/tools/ 
wave
-- THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX: -1
So the problem really lies in this line:
if ((THIS_BUILD_TOOLS_INDEX GREATER -1) OR (BUILD_TOOLS STREQUAL "ALL"))
All the tool directories are initially -1 so they never get added to  
the list? Is this a bug or are we just NOT wanting to build any of the  
tools.
<background> I cloned the Boost-cmake on gitorious in order to hack on  
bcp so that I could get a subset of boost with all the CMake files. I  
would like to make those changes available to a wider audience</

Thanks
