Description:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/source-installation.html says boost-1.59.0 *or later* is supported.

13:56:36  CMake Warning at cmake/boost.cmake:266 (MESSAGE):
13:56:36    Boost minor version found is 58 we need 59

Suggested fix:
a) specifying local zip file should set LOCAL_BOOST_DIR/BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR to the unzipped directory/include path.

b) only 1.59.0 is supported so potentially the documentation needs updating.

https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/5.7/cmake/boost.cmake#L265

c) currently boost-1.59.0 will compile fail on gcc-6 because this patch https://github.com/boostorg/thread/pull/66/commits/baca5170581a12dceb6242d27252f901c777079... doesn't occur in the 1.59.0 version.
