That would explain it. I'm not terribly familiar with CMake, and looking
through the FindBoost documentation, I didn't see an easy way to
determine that things should be dynamically linked. After hacking
CMakelists.txt to have the BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK in the compile flags, I
was able to get everything to build. But I'm pretty sure that's not the
"right" way to do it. 

Once they built, I had several test failures:

The following tests FAILED:
	 14 - cpp-netlib-hello_world (Failed)
	 15 - cpp-netlib-http_async_server (Failed)
	 16 - cpp-netlib-http_server_async_less_copy (Failed)
	 17 - mime-roundtrip (Failed)

Looking closely at the verbose test output, it looks like they all
failed because the address they were trying to bring up the server on
was still in use.
