There would be also option
d) don't mark the package as REQUIRED in the summary, but simply do 
find_package(Boost REQUIRED)
This should make it work too.

I vote for a) or d)
It was a bug in cmake which was fixed in 2.8.9.

I'm against c), I don't want to have to maintain a copy of this file.
Would it actually help ?
