Summary0008059: FindBoost several issues 1)boost 1.37 2)gcc version with distcc 3) Manual specification of boost compiler
DescriptionUsing FindBoost.cmake Revision 1.4.2.8 with cmake 2.6.1 fails to find boost 1.37 for several reasons on my system.

1) Boost 1.37 is not in the list of supported boost version

2) I am using "distcc g++-41" as a cmake compiler. The default compiler on my system is "g++" version 4.2. FindBoost consider the boost compiler suffix to be "-gcc42" instead of "-gcc41"

3) In some cases it might be interesting to specify the boost compiler suffix manually. For example if boost was compiled with gcc 4.2 but the current project is compiled with gcc 4.1.
Additional InformationThe attached modified FindBoost.cmake fixes these issues.
TagsNo tags attached.

 Tom,

Thanks for the patch. I changed your BOOST_COMPILER to Boost_COMPILER to be in line with everything else in the module. The rest of it looked good. Also in this commit is support for Boost_DEBUG.

 Also, in testing I did uncover an issue with auto detection of Boost_COMPILER failing if you set CC and CXX to have three commands in it (e.g. CC="ccache distcc gcc"). It's a CMake bug, however and nothing wrong with your patch. I'll file a separate bug report for it.
