I don't know the program you are trying to compile, but bootstrap.sh
is how Boost compiles itself.  i.e., it is included in the Boost
distribution.  See:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#simplified-build-from-source

Without looking at the CMake module myself, I guess it has gone off
and downloaded Boost, unpacked it, and is trying to compile it using
the bootstrap.sh / bootstrap.bat command and is failing.  Sounds like
a problem with the developers of the program and how they made the
CMake module?

You could probably look at the lines in the modules, according to the
error message.  I'm not sure if it's just a problem of the formatting
of the error message, but this looked funny to me:

> Failed running ./bootstrap.sh;--with-toolset=gcc:

--with-toolset=gcc is an argument to the bootstrap.sh script.  Why is
there a semi-colon between them?

But maybe this is nothing...
