You are right and I am confused. Boost has already been found at the
beginning but this is forgotten later. I learn, that FIND_PACKAGE
overrides all former states even if it was found already.
Also from [1] I learned that FIND_PACKAGE does not fail because of the
higher version as EXACT is not set, but as you can see in the following
it is about the COMPONENTS.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:300 (MESSAGE):
  Could not find boost headers or libraries.
  You may need to install a package named libboost1.35-dev or later

Only the third line hits (except FindBoost in 74). This leads to the
conclusion the there is some problem with the components
'unit_test_framework prg_exec_monitor'. Please correct me.

I would like to help. In this case the package is already RFS and I
think repackaging it would be counterproductive?
