Use a naming convention, e.g. set BOOST_ROOT to "Boost-<version>-<compiler>", where compiler is 
either vs10 or vs10x64. Assuming that Boost is not your only dependency, a naming convention is way 
easier to implement than fixing all the Find*.cmake scripts.

Just make the CMake error message clear, e.g. "Boost 1.50 expected to be found in <dir>". Most 
people know how to rename a directory.
