Be prepared to depend on a single library version which may not be included in any distribution. I also noticed that many Boost maintainers do not respond and others don't want to commit bug fixes for other libraries. Even many very simple patches for build errors are ignored. This probably doesn't apply to smart pointers but be prepared for trouble ...
