   * Add CMakeLists.txt files for regression tests for libraries new in 1.35.0 that don't already have them, e.g., asio.
   * Generate and install pkgconfig files, so that Boost libraries can be found via pkgconfig

+== Downstream tools ==
+
+For CMake to fully replace Boost.Build, the special needs of developers and testers must be addressed. The "tools" needed may be in the form of documentation and python scripts rather than CMake tools.
+
+  * Provide a tool for developers that lets them test locally on their own machines, and see the results in both summary and detail forms. Tests likely involve multiple compilers and may also include multiple configurations for each compiler.
+
+  * Provide a highly-robust and self-bootstrapping tool for testers. Should be able to run unattended for months and months. Must be a "good citizen" and manage space, time, and bandwidth resources prudently.
