This error is rather explicit actually. You need to have Boost installed, and 
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR must be filled with something like C:/CGAL/boost_1_46 (ie 
the directory where you can find the ./Boost subdirecty that contains Boost 
headers).

You will also have to fill CMake variables about Boost precompiled libraries. 
As said in the installation manual of CGAL, the easiest way is to remove all 
Boost_* variables from the CMake cache¹, and add² a variable BOOST_ROOT, of 
type "Path", that points to C:/CGAL/boost_1_46 (or the location where you 
installed Boost header and precompiled libraries), and reclick on configure. 
With BOOST_ROOT, CMake will be able to find the headers and the libraries 
automatically.

¹) in the CMake GUI, selected them, and click on the "Remove entry" button.
²) With the button "Add entry" of course.
