[CMake] cmake system library

[Nick Overdijk]

You could install boost to /usr/local if you're on linux/OSX? That's the standard location for non-system libs, CMake-Modules will look there.

Therefore I build the version and installed to a directory in my home. When I want to use this version it's very anyoing, because cmake find the system version. My solution is to give a path to the find_package command and use my own modifed cmake module to use my version. Is there an easier solution to use non-system libraries without modifying the cmake module or to set specific variables e.g. there are libraries like qt which have no variables which can be set.
