If I'm not mistaken, the user can give "hints" to FindBoost via the
BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Regardless of whether a user is
using CMake or not, s/he should be setting this environment variable
anyways. Take a look at this:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/module/FindBoost.html
In particular, the third green-background section on that page.
