Its actually quite easy: Look at the lib/ directory of your boost
installation. There you'll find files such as libboost_date_time-gcc....
now from this filename remove libboost_ and anything from (including) -gcc
til the end. Now you have your component name. So for the example the
component name is "date_time". Thats how FindBoost.cmake works, it simply
puts together the library name from
boost_+<component>+<compiler>+<multithread>+<boost_version>
