Thankfully, the changes made to library naming in 1.40 do not break
FindBoost. :)

Could you post what you have in mind for the paths?

Also, bear in mind that Boost already encodes versions into the include
directory and libraries.  It isn't necessary to segment a boost install
prefix by version number at all.

Ultimately we can add anything to the search path of FindBoost that makes
sense.  If you have suggestions, please feel free to submit them (preferably
with a tested patch) to the bugtracker.
