In Boost-1.38, the CMake support is experimental. If you want to use it, you 
need to create a CMake variable named CMAKE_IS_EXPERIMENTAL, of type Boolean, 
and set it to True. That is easier using the CMake GUI (cmake-gui.exe).

Maybe the CMake support is easier to use with more recent Boost versions.
