No offense but who on earth except Boost really use bjam by choice?

I also second the idea of having a unique top level CMake (plus 
individual CMake for each library) build system to build all libraries. 
Especially since CMake is much superior to bjam regarding portability 
and options. For now each time I need to configure Boost for a custom 
build I need to spend a lot of time in the Boost Build documentation 
which isn't easy IMHO.
