Comment (by RJVB):

 Starting (finally!) to migrate to the new boost port infrastructure. 2
 things I noticed:

 - dist_subdir could have been used to store all distfiles in a single
 directory
 - instead of a `cmake_scripts` variant, they could have been provided
 through a subport. That would have made the experimenting easier, and make
 things possible like adding a build conflict for dependents where these
 scripts should NOT be used.
