A lot of work remains --- that is, if it's also our intention to
modularize boost and have a functioning cmake build system, too. At
least, modularization seems like it would be a good thing to do at the
same time. And nobody is working on a bjam system for modularized boost.

<idle speculation>
Is it feasible to have both git and svn development going on
simultaneously? Two-way synchronization from non-modularized svn boost
to modularized git boost? Is that pure insanity?
