I use the boost pre-compiled all the time and I don't have any of
these issues BUT I do set the BOOST_ROOT environment variable in "My
Computer->Advanced Settings" after I install which may be the
difference. I use threads, program_options, testing, filesystem and
system.
I did notice in the FindBoost that there is a subtle difference in how
the directory names are generated:
I think one has boost_1_38 while another has boost-1_38 depending on
windows or unix.
From FindBoost.cmake in CMake version 2.6.4 around line 460
list(APPEND _boost_PATH_SUFFIXES "boost-${_boost_BOOSTIFIED_VERSION}")
if(WIN32)
# For BoostPro's underscores (and others?)
list(APPEND _boost_PATH_SUFFIXES "boost_$
{_boost_BOOSTIFIED_VERSION}")
endif()
Do you actually have the Dynamic multi-threaded boost libs installed?
Also, Looking at the CMakeLists.txt file it seems you are trying to
parse the Boost_THREAD library variable for something? If you are
trying to differentiate between the Release and Debug versions there
are the following variables for each boost library.
Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY
Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_DEBUG
Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_RELEASE
Any of that help?

The latest available version of Boost offered by BoostPro is v1.38.
The libraries are placed in:
C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_38\lib
The strange thing is that FindBoost *does* find Boost, but only if
first run with no arguments, followed by explicitly setting
BOOST_ROOT.
Looking at this:

The layout of that package seems to be utterly broken.
Do you mean bf-cpp, or some other package? How is it "broken"? I am
new to the CMake way of doing things, so would appreciate any advice
for improvement.
Thanks,
Curtis

Well, then most probably the layout of that binary installation
differs
from what the FindBoost.cmake file expects. So where is the boost
thread
library and how is it named? Looking at this:
