Most libraries wouldn't be using the same vocabulary. It would be arduous to even move the standard library over, because it would be a breaking change. Much of the tooling out there would probably never get specialized support.
CMake kinda makes me think there's definite interest in this kind of thing in the C++ community. It's janky and horrible, but it has tackled the module/package/library issue a little bit (not in an elegant sense but its a little more standardized)
