> Some years ago, there was a very large effort to switch boost to use CMake.  This was a failure.  I believe that this was due to the manner that this effort was attempted rather than any inherent issues related to CMake itself. Not that CMake doesn't have issues - I've found that all the build/test systems have them.

I've used CMake for several cross platform (Windows-Linux-Mac), an despite a few shortcomings have found it quite good. I don't know much about Boost.Build, but am interested in the "modularisation" status of boost, if someone could point me to the relevant reading material.
