[CMake] unexpected INSTALL problems

That's very interesting. My Boost_LIBRARIES according to cmake are:
"optimized;/usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so;debug;/usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so"
but my stuff gets linked to the ones with versions in the name, proved
by ldd:

> ldd bin/vtkmyFilteringPython.so | grep boost
	libboost_thread.so.1.40.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.40.0
(0x00007f51c7a8e000)

Very strange.

I see advantages and disadvantages of both options and I do agree with
you that a user should have a choice to pick one.
