Ryan,
Thanks for the helper script - I'll try that out on Monday.
Does anybody know if the FindBoost.cmake file is maintained by the CMake
developers, or does it have a 3rd party maintainer ? It would be nice to
see some logic similar to your script incorporated by default so that other
people experience the simplicity of it just working straight out of the box.
