This does make the most sense for my situation.  Do you just 
add a "boost" subproject in your top level directory?

I've now realized that as I've added more library dependencies (three in
addition to boost), my simple makefile approach is becoming very tedious.
I am very interested in using a build system like CMake, or boost.build.  

CMake looks very easy to use, but how do you avoid using bjam to build the
boost libraries?

Have you created a 'CMakeLists.txt' file for each boost library to replace 
the jam files (if so was this complicated)? 

Or is there a simpler approach for this?

This has already helped a lot.  Thank you.
