   > This change also renamed our Boost dependency name to "Boost" from
   "BOOST". It means that users need to use -DBoost_SOURCE not
   -DBOOST_SOURCE. To keep backward compatibility, -DBOOST_SOURCE is
   still accepted when -DBoost_SOURCE isn't specified.

   I would love to have this kind of case-insensitive handling for all 
dependencies. This has tripped me up many times and it is difficult to explain 
to others why everything else is ALL_CAPS but these dependencies are a mix.
