Or can I specify the build type, like debug, multi-threading etc and leave the CMake to choose the right file to link? Is there such an option?

Hi, 

there are variables which specifies which Boost version CMake would search and use. For example: Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED, Boost_USE_STATIC_LIB, Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME etc. 
See FindBoost.cmake for more documentation.
