> how much of that would just go away if we fix the CMake module?

None. My ${PY_BOOST_LIB} fixes are for non-CMake ports or CMake ports with
their own way to find Boost.Python.

> how much goes away by itself with CMake 3.11.0?

None. CMake added "pythonXY" (versioned) support as Boost component. If a
project doesn't switch from "python" to "pythonXY" CMake won't find
libboost_pythonXY installed by Boost 1.67. If "pythonXY" is used then Boost <
1.67 users are out of luck. Obviously, downstream (e.g., FreeBSD Ports) maybe
unhappy with whatever Python version was requested, often preferring a more
recent one.
