For some reason I thought RelWithDebInfo was per default a debug
configuration but that does not actually seem to be the case.
Given that Debug is the only (default) configuration in the set that
simplifies things greatly - for me at least :p
I'll manually transform the library lists until FindBoost.cmake exports
targets or Boost itself provides a config file.
Thanks!
