[Boost-cmake] [Serialization] BUILD_BOOST_WSERIALIZATION appears to be ignored by Boost.CMake

A grep of boost-cmake-1_41_0

$ grep -R WSERIALIZATION  *
boost-cmake-1_41_0/tools/build/CMake/docs/build/html/build_configuration.html:BUILD_BOOST_WSERIALIZATION
ON
boost-cmake-1_41_0/tools/build/CMake/docs/build/html/_sources/build_configuration.txt:
BUILD_BOOST_WSERIALIZATION       ON
boost-cmake-1_41_0/tools/build/CMake/docs/source/build_configuration.rst:
BUILD_BOOST_WSERIALIZATION       ON

so it only appears in the documentation

And lowercase search results in:
 grep -R wserialization  *

boost-cmake-1_41_0/tools/build/CMake/install_me/BoostConfig.cmake:
set(Boost_FIND_COMPONENTS
"filesystem;system;wserialization;thread;date_time")

so no dice.

This appears to be confirmed by:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3757

A simple addition of if/endif wrap of wserialization in
boost-cmake-1_41_0/libs/serialization/src/CMakeLists.txt:

if( BUILD_BOOST_WSERIALIZATION )
boost_add_library(wserialization

  basic_text_wiprimitive.cpp
  basic_text_woprimitive.cpp
  text_wiarchive.cpp
  text_woarchive.cpp
  utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp
  xml_wgrammar.cpp
  xml_wiarchive.cpp
  xml_woarchive.cpp
  codecvt_null.cpp

  SHARED_COMPILE_FLAGS -DBOOST_SERIALIZATION_DYN_LINK=1
  DEPENDS boost_serialization
  )
endif()

makes it go poofdy.... gone.

and the unified diff:

I would like to know why wide char serialization is not working or how I and
get it to work on VS2008 what I get is:

... yes there appears to be gobs and gobs more of this where ever this came
from.
