Oops, my mistake. The release branch is labeled 1.35.1; we need to make
the same change for the CMake branch (since we're tracking the release
branch).

We do not have an easy way to do this at the moment. One could perhaps
just take all of the CMakeLists.txt files, tools/build/CMake, and the
various .cmake files and put them into a Boost 1.35.0 distribution to
build it with CMake. I haven't tried this, though.
