[CMake] Problem with FindBoost

[Michael Jackson]

Couple of comments:
   Where _exactly_ do you have Boost installed. FindBoost looks for in  
very specific locations for a very specific set of folders.

Also, is multi_array an actual compiled library in boost? I can't  
remember. If is NOT a compiled library then you don't need to list it  
as a component.

Just my thoughts.
