[CMake] FindBoost.cmake updated on the bugtracker

[Mathias Dalheimer]

Hi,

as a new cmake user I am pretty impressed how painless software builds
can be - so first of all, thanks for releasing this software.

I would like to suggest another tweak for the FindBoost.cmake file: I
needed to add some Boost libraries statically. I used your
FindBoostv7.cmake from the tracker and patched it slightly:

<   MESSAGE(STATUS "Boost_LIBRARIES: ${Boost_LIBRARIES}")

<             SET(Boost_LIBRARIES ${Boost_LIBRARIES}
${Boost_${UPPERCOMPONENT}_LIBRARY})
<             # Patched MD:
<             string(REGEX REPLACE "so$" "a" staticlib
${Boost_${UPPERCOMPONENT}_LIBRARY})
<             SET(Boost_STATIC_LIBRARIES ${Boost_STATIC_LIBRARIES}
${staticlib})

Basically, I just replace the .so ending with .a and build a new
variable Boost_STATIC_LIBRARIES variable. I also attached my version of
the FindBoost.cmake file.

Thanks,
