Note that Boost upstream is modularizing and may provide CMake config files 
in the future:

 https://github.com/boost-cmake/boost-cmake
 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CMakeModularizationStatus

The wiki page is out of date, and so is the repo, because boost is trying to 
make a release before finishing the modularization work and it is all on-
hold for several more months.

This means:

 1) Creating a Boost::boost monolithic target may not be appropriate
 2) If FindBoost creates imported targets named Boost::*, then config files 
provided by boost upstream probably can't use that namespace (currently it 
uses boost::, but you might consider whether imported targets provided by 
files shipped with cmake should use CMake::).

Thanks,

Steve.
