[CMake] static linking on Ubuntu

[Bo Zhou]

Hi,

You can archive what youwant from the find_library() with NAMES parameter,
for example, find_library(THELIB NAMES libthelib.a thelib-static thelib),
it would try to pick the static library firstly.

Boost. You have to set Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS before find_package(Boost), so
the CMake would try to pick up the static libraries, of course, you should
already own the static libraries.

Thank you very much and good luck.
