I have always wondered why FindBoost doesn't add some speculative future
Versions into _Boost_KNOWN_VERSIONS so that at least the Boost versions
that are likely to appear during the lifecycle of the current CMake
version are found without resorting to user supplied
Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS. There is no harm in searching for versions
that are never going to be released (except maybe longer search time),
is there?
I was thinking of something along the lines of the attached patch.
Or is this a horrible idea?
