David,

I just tried 2.8.6-rc3 on a Linux machine with a system boost version 1.33.1 and a boost-cmake version 1.47.0.  It seems to find both of them fine.

It looks like Michael is using boost-cmake version 1.44, so I tried that too, but it also works.  I'm not sure what could be wrong here.

I did notice that there is a problem with printing the boost version for boost-cmake.  My module prints Boost_FIND_VERSION instead of Boost_VERSION, and the print format is inconsistent with what the module does.  I am not sure if you want me to fix that for 2.8.6.

-Todd
