Hi Mike,

I've downloaded Boost 1.41 and run the bootstrap.bat file to build it
on Windows.

With CMake 2.8, I get the error:
Could NOT find Boost

after I set boost_INCLUDE_DIR to be where I downloaded the boost
libraries.  Additionally, the other parameters (debug and release
versions of the filesystem and system libraries) automatically reset
to blank when that error shows up.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mark
