Eventually we could repocopy devel/boost to devel/boost-devel then
update devel/boost-devel to 1.37 and have maintainers (and the
community) decide whether they like to adapt their ports to the current
version.

If anyone can submit a working boost 1.37 port (preferably a patch
against devel/boost) I'd be glad to take over that task.
