Though usually not encouraged, there are use-cases for linking openssl statically (windows without openssl installed, static apps, etc.) and, though it's not as much of a security issue, the same use-cases apply to boost (so static apps don't end up linking boost dynamically because of cpp-netlib).

Default is OFF for both options (as I think it should be since those who need it will know when to use it).

LGTM -- ideally though we really ought to just remove the dependency on Boost if we can really achieve that.

@anonimal -- do you mind sending this change up to master as well?

@deanberris sure, no problem. By the way, I'm currently dealing with this cmake issue. It may or may not be related to cpp-netlib, I'll keep you posted if it ends up being an implementation issue.
