[CMake] Expected boost path structure.

[David Cole]

Are you escaping the "\" characters, like this?
set(BOOST_ROOT "X:\\32bit\\VC ...")

Or using the CMake convention "/" as a path separator character?
set(BOOST_ROOT "X:/32bit/VC ...")
(this is the one you should be doing...)

What version of CMake?
