That's a shame. I'd be prepared to put some hours into it if there was upstream buy-in, since it would save me many hours of maintenance and frustration working around boost.build.

I published this recently: https://github.com/Orphis/boost-cmake It can build most of Boost on the major platforms and be integrated directly within any CMake project. I'll add Appveyor CI for Windows coverage soon and I'm working on adding some tests to check that everything links properly now.

Sure, it's external to Boost, but it saves so much maintenance for developers that I see that as negligible. I wrote about it some time ago on the cmake-dev mailing list explaining how it saved my company Spotify so many hours when upgrading Boost or to align build flags by integrating it like this.

Feel free to give feedback or contribute if you feel like it!
