Build Boost library at CMake configure time

This project shows how to build a subset of the Boost library at CMake configure time.
The Boost library doesn't use CMake internally, so we can't use the
"FetchContent" module as usual. But we can get and build a subset of the Boost library
using the "bcp" Boost tool.

Usage

OS:
Windows
Linux

Toolchain:
MSVC
GCC

Command line:
cmake --list-presets
cmake --preset=<preset>, where <preset> is the preset from the output of the previous command

IDE:
Choose the configure and build presets in your IDE.
