Whenever I've advocated CMake as build system, one of the strongest selling points has been its self-sufficiency, i.e. the fact that it does not have any external dependencies except for a C++ environment. IMO, each further dependency on external packages - be it Boost, be it Qt or what ever - would compromise CMake's chances to be preferred to other build systems. For this reason, I'd support Bill's position and recommend to be particularly conservative w.r.t. the introduction of additional dependencies into the CMake executable.
