At least the one in kdevplatform probably deviates quite a bit as it
doesn't just search for the headers but also for the various libraries.
Something that 2.4.x FindBoost never did. An advanced version of the
kdevplatform one has been submitted to cmake's bug tracker but has not
yet been integrated into 2.6. I've also got a private mail with updates
yesterday which I need to integrate and will then post a new version to
the bugtracker as well as into kdevplatform. I'm planning to work on
that tomorrow.
