At www.blincubator.com there is  a section under "simple tools" which 
describes a convenient and tested way to use CMake to build and test a 
Boost library.  It also includes and sample library "safe numerics" 
which does this.  Also the boost serialization library also includes 
CMake files to build and test using Cmake which I use on my personal 
development setup.

I hope this is helpful, and would be very much interested in feedback to 
refine and improve this information.
