I finally remembered and did this now. There's one problem, the version
in kdelibs already has been updated to include "out of the box" support
for boost 1.37 (1.37 has been added to the _boost_TEST_VERSIONS
variable). While cmake 2.6.2 only has 1.36.1 in it. So all places using
find_package(Boost) would need to be adjusted to set
Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS before finding boost. 

I guess that means removing the file is not an option at the moment and
as its pretty close to the release I'll re-tackle this after trunk/ is
open for 4.4, so I don't create any problems just before releasing when
updating the file to the cmake 2.6.4 version.
