Then you haven't really looked at the code.

${BOOST_LIBARIES} is the variable which holds all found boost libraries.

If you need a special one.

if (BOOST_SERIALIZATION_FOUND)
  target_link_libraries(foo ${BOOST_SERIALIZATION_LIBRARY})
else (BOOST_SERIALIZATION_FOUND)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "boost serialization not found")
endif (BOOST_SERIALIZATION_FOUND)

A bash script which creates a cmake file isn't a solution. CMake should
look for libraries not a bash script!!!
