[CMake] FindBoost.cmake to find the boost libraries

[Chauhan, Vikas]

Hi all,

I am using the code below in cmakelists.txt to find the boost libraries
using cmake 2.8. 
After the execution "Boost_LIBRARIES" does not contain anything. Am I
correct in assuming that this variable must be populated with the list
of boost libraries?
Also, I am not sure how do I get the appropriate debug/release boost
libraries depending on the build configuration.
What are your thoughts on the FindBoost.cmake file located at the link
below (It was discussed in the mailing list in January 2008)?

Thanks,
