I know the subject has come up a couple of times... I'm fed up with having to install boost on every system I have to compiled something on. I'd like to have a Boost utility dir in my source which will build itself along with all the other cmake controlled projects. (Preferably broken into Boost::lib1, Boost::lib2 etc etc modules)

I've used boost a lot, but never spent much time looking at the configuration or build. Has anyone given much though to how hard it'd be to CMakeify Boost? (And even if the boost maintainers aren't interested in using CMake, we could put together a distro once every few months with a latest release...)

Anyone got any views?

I cmakeified boost once for fun. I was not that hard, most of boost are header files only. The jam files are easy to understand. I was able to build filesystem regex smart_ptr and test libraries.
