[Mat M. <mm...@em...>]

Thanks for your interest in contributing a build configurations.

ASL's principal build system is currently an enhanced version of boost build
version 2/bjam (bbv2). This is the only system that we officially support.
All code must compile using bbv2 (without warnings) on Mac os X and windows
(MSVC 8.0) and pass all the test suites (automated via bbv2 and begin
examples) before being checked in to the ASL main line.

As a less-than-100% supported service we try to also keep MSVC 7.1 builds
and cygwin builds functoining properly. As another unsupported service we
offer IDE projects. These are written by hand, leveraging  the
vsprops/xcconfig mechanism to centralize compiler options and track the
boost build file structure as closely as possible.

There are various other interesting build systems, but I currently lean
against supporting yet more build flavors in the main line. We might
consider creating an "unsupported" directory for such contributions.
Alternatively, we might include a reference to your cmake system from the
opensource site.
