b2 --show-libraries

Hi guys,

Why does `b2 --show-libraries` not show the libraries and exit as --help
says it should? I am using boostorg/boost
02b24152984db5f8291778699f87a24dfce49aca, and also see the same behavior on
tag boost-1.89.0.

It instead goes on to build everything. That's opposite of the --help
documentation. Is there not a unit test for this basic feature??? How many
other basic features don't have unit tests?

How do I just use cmake add_subdirectory(boost) from the boostorg/boost
repo? I'm stuck trying to use externalproject_add

I just need to build static libraries for packages, and want to have a loop
in cmake that does --without-<library> for all of the libraries that I
don't depend on. Or, even better, let CMake handle all of the dependencies
for any boost libs that depend on each other, if I depend on one of them
