Adding a simple TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(foo ${Boost_LIBRARIES}) seems to fix this problem.

I think better documentation would be the best approach to solving this problem. Making Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS do any kind of automatic definition of preprocessing symbols would be bad form.

I've clarified the documentation for now just so this can make the 2.6.3 release.
