Summary:                    FindBoost not appropriate for header-only modules
Description: 
FindBoost is not appropriate for boost modules that comprise but an include
header, and no compiled library. Using FindBoost for such modules raises an
inappropriate error.

Minimal solution: state the above in the doc page FindBoost.html.

Preferred solution: add support header-only modules to FindBoost
