CV joint boot question

This is probably another one of my "wishful thinking" ponderings, but I'll toss it out here anyway.
before I took the little trip over the mountain pass last weekend, I checked the car over from one end to the other, and happily didn't find much that needed attention. Only tightened up the alternator belts a bit. But I did notice the CV joint boots are intact, but starting to look brittle and cracked. Anyone have any tricks to make 'em last a bit longer? Any kind of "dressing" that will soften them up and not bust open on me at a bad time? I plan on taking the axles off later this spring and re-booting them and replacing the diff seals, but just would like them to hold out till then.
