Sandro, any chance to accept this into libgeos?

I think there are a couple of issues:

1. The official configuration tool is automake, so we need to support
   that, until CMake can replace it 100%
2. HAVE_BOOST seems too wide to me, you probably want HAVE_BOOST_GEOMETRY,
   looking for presence of the specific support headers
3. Usage of boost::geometry should be an explicit request from builder.
   ./configure --with-boost-geometry and USE_BOOST_GEOMETRY

Good, I'll take care of the changes during next days and update the pull.
I'm also going to update CMake for GEOS so recently reported issues are fixed.

Please use a separate branch for the CMake fixes and reference the relevant
tickets (filing new ones on trac if not there yet)

Thank you!

Now that we have a postgis.backend GUC, could be interesting to have a version for "boost" :)
