Actually, I'm using this to make a static library that uses boost useable via find_package without having hard-coded paths inside it and my Config.cmake contains a find_package(Boost 1.56 EXACT REQUIRED COMPONENTS coroutine context system). So it isn't exactly only academic... Yes, it would be simpler if Boost already provided IMPORTED targets, but expecting IMPORTED targets for every library out there is not realistic, so another, ideally less verbose, solution would be incredibly useful.

Yes, but for the user of the target, it's just target_link_libraries(mytgt Boost::Coroutine) This is academic though anyway until someone decides to submit and maintain IMPORTED targets for Boost, or until Boost decides to make them available itself. So, for now, you are correct, it's verbose.
