[CMake] New FindBoost

[David Cole]

See the VTK source file VTK/CMake/ExtractBoostVersion.cmake...

http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/CMake/ExtractBoostVersion.cmake?rev=1.1&view=markup

...for example CMake script that extracts version number information out of
boost/version.hpp using regular expressions -- feel free to incorporate it
directly into FindBoost.cmake if you think it's useful.
