hmm, imo that depends on the question if we can safely assume that the
application compiles with boost 1.35.0 up to 1.48.0 when we set
BOOST_MAX_SLOT=1.48

otherwise we would end up supporting a range of slots which seems
unneccessary, no?

Maybe we should rather do something like

WANT_BOOST=${WANT_BOOST:-1.48}

which will force the dependencies and the rest, but the user will
still be able to handle this per-package through /etc/portage/env if
he sees fit.
