That installer offers several variations.
:( That means I can't really look at the stuff myself. However
looking
at the original project files for boost it seems those binaries
are not
exactly the same as would be built with the boost sources. The MSVC7
build files don't mention any "-s", only "-gd".
-s simply means static according to the above pages. Is static
linking to
boost not supported by the module?
Unfortunately cmake doesn't allow to easily choose between static and
shared library to link to. At least not when using find_library. (I've
already filed a report about that). On *nix boost simply builds a .a
file for a static library and apparently this is different with
MSVC on
win32 where both types of library have the same filename extension.
So on unix you have to remove the shared libs to have cmake find the
static versions.
One could add some hack to do s/.so/.a/ on the libraries, but IMHO it
should rather be fixed in cmake than adding such ugly workarounds.
Ok, I've got a new version, which hopefully supports the binary
installation (it also has a couple of bugfixes I found when using a
self-compiled boost). Please test.

Note also on windows the naming convention used:
These are for the dynamic library, debug, multi-threaded, dynamically
linked to C++ Runtime
boost_filesystem-vc71-mt-gd-1_34_1.dll
boost_filesystem-vc71-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib
And this is for the static boost lib, but same as above. Note the
addition of the prefix 'lib'
libboost_filesystem-vc71-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib
At least on windows, one can test for this prefix and decide what to
do: Look for the dll or not.
