.so.139 may be not futureproof as there were (and may be later)
3-component versions i.e. 1.34.1.

Also, given that boost seem to update fairy regularily, many (pretty
huge) ports depend on it and there were no ABI breakages during
last updates, I'd vote for only bumping soversion if it's known to
break ABI (on major releases or post factum if the breakage is
reported). This way the .so.5 scheme seems to be most suitable, as
soversion does not correllate with boost version.

If on some point we discover that every update needs soversion bump, we
can always switch to .so.1.39 or whatever, anyway.
