There are many typos on the page (and even in the url). You might want to 
proof-read/copy-edit it in a text editor before publishing it more-widely.

The CMake solution didn't result in interest from Boost.

It's the approach that uses modern CMake features though (including features 
designed and implemented specifically for Boost), so it's likely the better 
approach if Boost decides to make use of CMake at all.

Enjoy the conference,
