Also, the only libraries that are "found" are ones that are (a)
compiled, such as date_time or filesystem, and (b) requested in the
find_package command:

    find_package(Boost 1.40.0 COMPONENTS date_time filesystem system)

to link to these you'll need to add:

    target_link_libraries(foo ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

check the source for FindBoost.cmake in your CMake installation for
more information.

HTH,
