[CMake] problems with FindBoost

[Dominik Szczerba]

Dear Mike,

Many thanks for your hint to enable debugging in FindBoost. Doing so I
immediately located the culprit, and it seems it is not FindBoost that
is to blame. The package using FindBoost was silently setting
Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS to ON behind my back, thus the DLL version was -
properly - not found.

Many thanks!
Dominik
