[CMake] VS 2008 x64, Boost 1.39 - Can not find boost libraries

[Mike Jackson]

Just to be clear, did you build them with the 64bit command prompt
from Visual Studio? Otherwise how did you build them?

 I ended up tweaking the cmake files that come with boost 1.39 in
order to remove the -s that is tagged onto the unittest libraries.
Otherwise not really sure what to do as this is all new to me (the
windows side of things any ways...)
