Summary:                    MSVC11 variable is not set
Description: 
This version of CMake supports generator for Visual Studio 11 (current Developer
Preview):

C:\>cmake --help | grep "Visual Studio 11"
  Visual Studio 11            = Generates Visual Studio 11 project files.
  Visual Studio 11 Win64      = Generates Visual Studio 11 Win64 project

However, MSVC11 variable is not set. 
So, CMake-provided modules like FindBoost.cmake can not perform libraries lookup
effectively, because they rely on MSVCXY variable:

...
elseif (MSVC90)
   set(_boost_COMPILER "-vc90")
elseif (MSVC10)
   set(_boost_COMPILER "-vc100")
...


It also looks FindBoost.cmake is lacking of

elseif (MSVC11)
  set(_boost_COMPILER "-vc110")


By the way, the documentation mentions only MSVC and MSVC80 variables:
http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#variable:MSVC80
It does not document variables for other versions of Visual C++ like MSVC71.
