Ok. Here comes the apology. I just could NOT see the forest for all
the trees in front of me. I am truly sorry for the last rant.

  So, Here is how to get the "bjam" behavior back.

Set INSTALL_VERSIONED=OFF
set BOOST_INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR=include/boost-1_41
set BOOST_LIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib

and then go. I also set an environment variable BOOST_ROOT to the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

In my CMake file I have the following;

# ---------- Find Boost Headers/Libraries -----------------------
SET (Boost_FIND_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET (Boost_FIND_QUIETLY TRUE)
set (Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED TRUE)
set (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE)
SET (Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "1.41" "1.41.0")

if ( NOT MXA_BOOST_HEADERS_ONLY)
  set (MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS program_options unit_test_framework
test_exec_monitor)
endif()

FIND_PACKAGE(Boost COMPONENTS ${MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS} )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})

This successfully works with the FindBoost.cmake that is included with
CMake 2.6.4 so all my bitching and moaning was just wasted energy.
And, Troy, please accept my apologies.

Respectfully.
