I understand your point. Thanks for maintaining this module.

If you'd like to check in support for the feature and volunteer to maintain it, however, that's fine by me. It would make so much more sense to do
within Boost itself,  though.

Yup, using cmake this would be trivial:

ADD_LIBRARY(filesystem ${filesystem_SRCS})
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(filesystem LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES "system")

If only those people could ditch, this bjam based build system and
start using the cmake one...

Actually.. there is a grass-roots effort to add on a CMake build system to boost. There is currently a git repo for Boost 1.40.0 and 1.41.0 that has a CMake build system and is starting to produce the needed *.cmake files. There is an active discussion on the boost-cmake mailing list in the past few days on just this topic.
