I do a daily 'emerge -avDuN world' to keep everything up to date, but
I've noticed it doesn't always find everything. As an example:

# emerge -avDuN world

Not if these are build-time dependencies, in which case they'll only be
picked up when you use --with-bdeps y.

This is becoming a VFAQ.

I can't imagine boost is a build-time dep, though.
