Hi William,

Please create in your CMake cache a new boolean variable named Boost_DEBUG, 
and set it to ON/TRUE, and relaunch the CMake configuration. That enables the 
debug mode of FindBoost.cmake. It will displays more explanation about why 
FindBoost.cmake does not detect the boost_thread and boost_system libraries.

Check which variants of Boost you have compiled or installed. As explained in 
the release notes of CGAL, under Windows the CGAL CMake scripts set up the 
FindBoost script to search for shared libraries of Boost:

  http://www.cgal.org/releases.html#release4.0

If you have installed the static libraries of Boost, you need to set the 
CMake 
boolean variable CGAL_Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS. See the installation manual, 
here:
