I have one more question Valdimir, if you don't mind.

I noticed that the library names (for static libraries) are named like so
(On Windows):

libboost_filesystem-mt.lib

The 'lib' prefix is a linux pattern that normally isn't used on Windows.
This actually confuses the FindBoost.cmake module in CMake. Has it always
been this way for static boost libraries? I know the boost import libraries
(when building shared libraries) never had the 'lib' prefix.
