Boost versions 1.42.0 and 1.48.0 are unused -- no packages references those. I would like to delete them, but I figured that this should be done in a pull request so that people have a chance to comment. Version 1.49.0 is also unused after the appearance of 1.50.0. If 1.50.0 doesn't cause any build problems, we might want to delete that one too. Let's wait a few days, and then we move forward on that front. The other (older) versions of Boost are typically used by old packages that haven't seen any updates in ages. A while ago, I checked the upstreams and it seemed like those packages are dead. I didn't want to delete them a the time, but we might want to address that issue, too.
