Cool!

BTW, the CMake configuration (in 0.9-devel) will try to look for
OpenSSL and if it's not found a preprocessor definition is avoided
that would make the library rely on OpenSSL. More specifically, if it
can't find OpenSSL development files, BOOST_NETWORK_ENABLE_HTTPS is
not defined.

Hmm... these errors looks suspicious. These don't happen on Linux?

Looking forward to the completed CMake hacks. :)

Thanks for the effort Gregory!
