Well if only the CMake documentation was that reliable. There's information
that I have found to be inaccurate or missing from the docs.

For example, the documentation for find_package() no where mentions the
variable created for the COMPONENTS parameter. Looking at FindBoost.cmake,
it appears to be in the form of <prefix>_FIND_COMPONENTS. Is this correct?
