Might be a bug. On line 641 of FindBoost.cmake, where the
_boost_LIBRARIES_SEARCH_DIRS variable is initialized, could you try adding
this line and see if that helps?
"$ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost/boost_${Boost_MAJOR_VERSION}_${Boost_MINOR_VERSION}/lib"
If this does fix the problem and you'd like a workaround for the problem
until a fix can be released (or if this doesn't help at all) you can likely
use BOOST_ROOT or BOOST_LIBRARYDIR as a CMake variable or environment
variable.
Also, for whatever reason, FindBoost does not use the include path detected
for the headers as a hint for finding the libraries. Not sure why this is
but it probably should be fixed.
