You're listing the dependencies three times in three separate locations, 
which will be error-prone and is harder to automate (unless the whole 
CMakeLists.txt is generated with boostdep.)

You should be able to have dependencies.cmake with

some_macro(dep1)
some_macro(dep2)

(or some_function) and then use that appropriately in CMakeLists.
