[CMake] FIND_LIBRARY in FindBoost finds wrong library

[Philip Lowman]

Someone could add an option to FindBoost that will simply exclude the system
paths from the search.  This has never been implied by setting BOOST_ROOT.
As long as the unversioned library names are being searched for with
find_library they are likely going to be found.  Currently the onus is on
the user to double check what FindBoost discovers.

Well, in my case, the library name was not even that specific.
It found /usr/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.so
before /home/loose/boost/boost-1.40.0/lib/libboost_date_time.so, simply
because libboost_date_time-mt.so is searched for in *all* paths before
libboost_date_time.so.

Anyway, I still think this is (also) a CMake issue. IMHO it would make
sense to turn the loop in cmFindLibraryCommand::FindNormalLibrary()
inside out. What's your opinion?

Best regards,
