Summary:                    FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.45.0 COMPONENT mpi REQUIRED)
can't find boost_mpi library
Description: 
Problem of finding boost::mpi due to they are, by default, placed not into the
/usr/lib directory.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install cmake, boost and one of the MPI software (can be mpich2, openmpi or
other).
2. Install boost-mpich2 or boost-openmpi with dependencies.
3. Try to compile some code using boost::mpi with next CMakeLists.txt:
ADD_EXECUTABLE(mpi-test test.cpp)

FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.47.0 COMPONENTS mpi serialization REQUIRED)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(mpi-test ${Boost_LIBRARIES})\
4. cmake . won't find library:
    The following Boost libraries could not be found:
        boost_mpi

Additional Information: 
SET(BOOST_ROOT "/usr/lib/mpich2/") or, other, for different architecture and
MPI software can be a solution. But, it isn't portable, and, looks like, it
this (/usr/lib/mpich2/lib or /usr/lib/openmpi/lib) path is standard and correct
- FindBoost.cmake from cmake package should find it by itself. Without any
user-defined paths.
