[CMake] ExternalProject_Add and Boost

[Bill Lorensen]

Take a look here:
https://gitorious.org/pclsuperbuild/pclsuperbuild

I recently created this superbuild for the Point Cloud Library. You'll
see that it configures and builds Boost with be. Also it downloads
PCL, configures and builds it and other dependencies.

It is new,, so there may be some issues. Currently it only works for
linux and mac,
