From what I can tell this cmake variable is Not set anywhere else in the build system (at least that I can find). Adding a Cmake cache entry for LIBPREFIX:STRING=lib on windows for static builds allowed the proper naming. Not sure if this is by design or got left out by accident. Maybe we need a "bjam" compatible mode to set all these types of things for the next few releases of boost and Cmake. At least until Cmake as it is distributed can handle the new paths in the boost installation.
