Daniel Pfeifer's Effective CMake talk is a really great resource:

There is also this wiki that goes over best practices and guidelines based on
two of Daniel's cmake talks:

https://github.com/boost-cmake/bcm/wiki/Cmake-best-practices-and-guidelines

Also, this goes over the structure that boost is planning on using with cmake:

Although it leans towards using its own set of modules called BCM, it does
explain the structure without using BCM as well.
