I think we shouldn't have to add support for every imaginable build system
just because they exist. They all require maintenance (and we already have
problem to maintain the non-configure builds) and we risk "drowning" in
options.

Or would boost.build add anything in particular that cmake won't? (I've not
used either one.)
