It's better to have 3 variables:
XXX_LIBRARY_RELEASE, XXX_LIBRARY_DEBUG and XXX_LIBRARY.
First ones are determined with find_library, the latter one:
if(XXX_LIBRARY_RELEASE AND XXX_LIBRARY_DEBUG)
	set(XXX_LIBRARY optimized ${XXX_LIBRARY_RELEASE} debug ${XXX_LIBRARY_DEBUG})
endif(XXX_LIBRARY_RELEASE AND XXX_LIBRARY_DEBUG)

and link your applications to XXX_LIBRARY. Mike's script does same thing but a 
bit more generalized. Also, you can look to FindBoost.cmake. But the key point 
is to use "debug" and "optimized" keywords.
