So far, from what I can tell in my logs, zlib.h cannot be found? This
in spite of the fact I've provided the options:

zlib_h.cpp
/path/to\build\boost\boost\bin.v2\standalone\ac\zlib_h.cpp(1): fatal
error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No such file or
directory
...failed compile-c-c++
/path/to\build\boost\boost\bin.v2\standalone\ac\msvc-14.0\debug\address-model-64\link-static\threading-multi\zlib_h.obj...
...failed updating 1 target...
...found 6 targets...
...updating 2 targets...

However, I certain I've provided that in my CMake B2 options:

set (B2_INCLUDE "${PLATFORM_SDK_PATH};${REPOS_DIR}/${ZLIB_TAG}")
# B2 include: >>> C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows
Kits/10/Include/10.0.10240.0/ucrt;/path/to/repos/zlib-1.2.11 <<<

And which the paths really are there after their own CMake custom
targets. I checked, literally every step of the way.
