[CMake] ExternalProject_Add and Boost

[Knox, Kent]

I'll check out the reference to b2, thanks for the heads up.



My own project is hosted with SVN, not GIT, so I did not want to require my developers to find and install a git client to get the build to work; that is why I wanted to choose the zipball.

Two comments here:

  - bjam has been renamed to b2 since Boost 1.47

  - this probably uses the bjam/b2 in the path, rather than the one that you just built with bootstrap.bat, which is just asking for problems

Github also provides the git protocol, or did you just mean the zip

download function?
