there seems to be an error in the makefile it's generating.  Specifically,
in the step where it created the directories, the makefile ends up with
this line:
>  /apps/cmake/cmake-2.8.7/bin/cmake -E make_directory
/workspace/boost/build CONFIGURE_CMD "bootstrap.sh
--libdir=/workspace/boost/install --includedir=/workspace/boost/install
--with-libraries=serialization" BUILD_CMD "bjam install"

 This obviously ends up calling cmake in error.  Below is my call to
ExternalProject_add, in-case that is what is in erorr, but I've fooled
around with it a fair amount and get the same results every time, so I
don't think that's where the issue is

Check your args... Should be CONFIGURE_COMMAND and BUILD_COMMAND.
