You can always specify the variables to point the module to the right
direction. The name of the module is "FindBoost.cmake" so the module should
find what you want! At least under Linux cause you have some rules there where
you can find the libraries.

I don't want to specify a path or whatever cause it could be different under
another Unix or Linux system. I want that the module does the work.

Maybe we should simply generate 20-50 possible version numbers.

You can already specify the version you want to use. Simply overwrite
_boost_TEST_VERSIONS.
