Both me and a collegue of mine just did, on Win XP + MSVC 2008.  Most of 
it seems to work fine, but there's a problem with the library file 
names: It creates lib files like "boost_python--mt-gd-1_35.lib". 
Somehow it does not encode the compiler version ("vc90") into the lib 
file names!  How (or where, in CMakeList.txt) are those lib file names 
constructed?  Do they depend on CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME?

Boost_1_35_0/CMakeLists.txt says:

elseif (MSVC71)
  set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "Boost-${BOOST_VERSION}-vc71")
elseif (MSVC80)
  set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "Boost-${BOOST_VERSION}-vc8")
elseif (MSVC90)
  set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "Boost-${BOOST_VERSION}-vc9")

Which /seems/ incorrect, because the Microsoft compiler version should 
be encoded by four letters ("vc90"), according to 
boost/config/auto_link.hpp.  But if I change "vc9" to "vc90" in my local 
version of Boost_1_35_0/CMakeLists.txt, it still doesn't do the lib file 
names correctly.

Interestingly, Boost_1_35_0/Cmake /does/ work properly on MSVC71!

Do you have a clue?

Kind regards,

Niels
