Ah! Now I remember I tried CMake 2.8.3 on OS X earlier this week but
went later back to 2.8.2. That's why the error I had (similar to
yours) "magically" disappeared. I tried 2.8.3 on Ubuntu now and
libboost_program_options was missing from the link.txt and build.txt
files as in your case. The diff between FindBoost.cmake in CMake 2.8.2
and in 2.8.3 is rather large so it is quite possible that the bug is
in CMake. I will look closer at this tomorrow.
