The reason why I don't like this is that all win32libs (including boost, poppler and others) are compiled with msvc2005sp1 and therefore will use a different msvcrt. This can lead to problem which are hard to track for someone without knowledge. Therefore I strongly advise to *not* use msvc2008 with emerge unless you know what you're doing...
