I know little about Boost, but as a service for those with a deeper interest
in this thread here is the diff of those two files.

So all Boost libraries on the good machine are also on the problem machine.

I am now wondering whether any of those many extra Boost libraries on the
problem machine are somehow confusing FindBoost.cmake on that machine?
