Having this CMake build scripts doesn't prevent having the hand written nmake makefiles as well. This would allow to build curl without using CMake for those who doesn't want to use it. In the future we could add boost.build scripts so that people used to this build system could build this way.
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.)
