The FindBoost provided by this version of cmake doesn't support imported 
targets for the new Boost 1.62 release, i.e. Boost::system.

If you're not using imported targets, this won't cause you any problems, 
and you can ignore it.

Hopefully one day we can get Boost to provide this information directly 
by providing cmake configuration files (it's on my long todo list).  If 
anyone else wants to tackle this, it would certainly benefit a lot of 
people.
