I would like that very much as well.

I've got a custom FindBoost.cmake which basically just wraps the actual 
FindBoost module and sets the "BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB" definition.

This seems to be a source of confusion for people who are unaware of 
autolinking in general.

Having CMake find and link one set of libraries (DLL by default) and the 
lib pragmas link yet another set of libraries (static by default).
