As per cmake 3.5.1, FindBoost.cmake does not check for include headers.
Therefore it will give false positives
- if a Boost project that only consists of a header file is not installed
- if only a libboost* is installed, but not the headers from the corresponding
   *-dev package.

I raised this issue long ago on the cmake bug tracker, and recently again
on the cmake mailing list, but got no response. Would perhaps somebody
from the Boost community volunteer to look into this issue? Or has already
looked into it and could tell us what the problem is?
