[Boost-cmake] test library .lib name in Windows

I built Boost 1.38 with CMake and I'm using CMake to build my programs in 
Windows using MSVC and auto linking but I'm getting errors like:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-
vc90-mt-sgd-1_38.lib'

Instead I have a library named libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-sgd-1_38-
s.lib.  While looking through BoostCore.cmake I found this comment:

#   STATIC_TAG: States that the name of static library variants on
#   Unix need to be named differently from shared library
#   variants. This particular option should only be used in rare cases
#   where the static and shared library variants are incompatible,
#   such that linking against the shared library rather than the
#   static library will cause features. When this option is provided,
#   static libraries on Unix variants will have "-s" appended to their
#   names. Note: we hope that this is a temporary solution. At
#   present, it is only used by the Test library.

And a ways below is the place where the -s is appended.  It seems like the -s 
should only be appended in Unix in order to avoid breaking the auto linking in 
Windows.
