[CMake] FIND_LIBRARY in FindBoost finds wrong library

[Marcel Loose]

Hi Michael,

That still doesn't answer my question about turning that loop inside
out. 

A quick grep in the CMake Modules directory showed me that there are at
least a dozen other FindXXX scripts that use multiple NAMES with a
FIND_XXX() commands. I haven't checked how they handle default (system)
paths, but I guess these might be erratic as well, when multiple
versions of a package exists with libraries named slightly different.

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
