Summary:                    FindBoost on Ubuntu behaves erratically
Description: 
I'm using system boost.

By default the variables are set to:

 Boost_DIR                        Boost_DIR-NOTFOUND
 Boost_INCLUDE_DIR                /usr/include
 Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS               /usr/lib
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY             /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DEBUG       /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE     /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY             /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_DEBUG       /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE     /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a

Since I want to use shared libs (there's a fPIC problem which Ubuntu 12.10 boost
builds), I changed the .a to .so. CMake forces some of the variables back to the
following:

 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY             /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.so
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DEBUG       /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE     /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY             /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_DEBUG       /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE     /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a

I cannot get the _DEBUG/_RELEASE to be .so.
