IMO, the easiest approach is to use the ENVIRONMENT test property to
tweak the PATH environment variable for the tests, e.g. by appending/
prepending ${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS} etc. A more radical but cumbersome
approach is to use the BundleUtilities to perform a completed test
installation - preferably beneath the build tree - and run the tests
therein. Finally, you might copy the required libraries to the build
tree by a custom target or custom commands, or by a test on its own
in conjunction with the DEPENDS test property, but that's even more
cumbersome.
