What about BoosT_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIBRARY, is that one set? The
DEBUG/RELEASE variables are only set (IIRC) when both debug and release
libs are being found.

If you look at FindBoost.cmake it already adds the -s when using static
libs on win32. However it seems it expects -s-d.a and not -d-s.a. That
may be the bug. Also FindBoost.cmake doesn't use -d, its just "d" there
(and potentially g too). So it searches for <component>-mt-s followed by
either d, gd without a dash in between. At least my cmake 2.6.3 rc7 does
that.
