[CMake] Can't get Boost_${COMPONENT}_LIBRARY to work

Thanks for the replies. Capitalization was indeed the problem.

Thanks for pointing that out. I probably would have never noticed.

So I am building a sub-library (currently static) of a larger project. This
sub-library only needs the date_time library of the components I listed. I
don't have a strong opinion either way of whether I link to just date_time
or the whole thing; it's just that the original Makefile I'm converting from
singled this out. Do you feel that I'm better off using Boost_LIBRARIES?

Thanks,
Eric
