[CMake] cmake, boost on windows, and linking: shouldn't find_package have put BOOST_ROOT/lib into LIB?

I'm slowly learning cmake and converting some real software to it, targeting Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Along the way, I'm making minimal working examples (they're a lot easier to debug them than the real thing) and putting them up at
