For users of Boost+CMake, FindBoost.cmake will always be inferior to a 
BoostConfig.cmake generated by b2 and provided by Boost itself. 

Such a file would encode any and all information about the build of boost, 
and you would report errors at cmake time instead of link time.

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-packages.7.html

As they are just text, b2 can generate them. Qt qmake and the llvm Makefile 
systems generate them respectively.

Thanks,

Steve.
