Ok, I've heard back from Phil and he is keen to get build2 support
upstreamed.
So, as mentioned in my previous email, I would suggest that you use
the Boost.Predef PR as an example. I would also be happy to review
your work before you submit a PR upstream.
I've also browsed around the Catch2 repository and have a couple of
notes:
1. They seem to be moving to the <catch2/catch.hpp> inclusion scheme
which is a good thing[1] and we should follow along. This seems to
be only currently implemented for single_include/.
2. There are a couple of problematic entries in their .gitignore file,
specifically, 'Build' and '*.build'.
In fact, ignoring 'build/' appears to be a common practice in CMake-
based projects and the fact that it makes conversion to build2 more
difficult was mentioned to me before. There is an idea of supporting
an alternative naming scheme for build2-related files and directories
that I am planning to look into in the next few days. I will keep you
posted about the results.
