What is claimed is: 1. An arrangement comprising a ski binding and a ski boot adapted thereto with a boot sole, such that the arrangement includes: a first engagement element on the binding side, a second engagement element on the boot side in a front region thereof, wherein in a position for use the first and second elements are engaged with one another and keep the ski boot in substantial linear or areal contact with a ski or a binding plate attached to a ski, wherein at least one of an underside of the boot sole in a front region, and a sole-supporting surface on the ski or binding plate that is associated with the front sole region, is convexly curved in a long direction of the ski and boot, and wherein the first and second engagement elements are adapted to one another in such a way that when a back end of the boot is raised or lowered, with an accompanying, corresponding movement of the first and second engagement elements, the boot sole makes a rolling motion associated with a longitudinal shift of a contact line or area on the ski or binding plate and with a movement of the front end of the boot in the direction opposite to that of the movement of the back end; a third, boot-side engagement element in a middle region of the front part of the sole adjacent a region between the ball of the foot and base of the toes, and in a corresponding position on the ski binding a fourth, binding-side engagement element that engages the third engagement element so that the third and fourth engagement elements limit the extent to which the ski boot can be displaced backward with respect to the ski or binding plate and wherein at least one of the second and third engagement elements on the boot sole is constructed as an axle that extends generally transverse to the long axis of the ski, wherein the fourth engagement element comprises a stopping hook that can be swivelled about an axle extending approximately parallel to the upper ski surface or boot sole and transverse to the long direction of ski or boot, by means of which the third, sole-side engagement element, if it has been displaced backward, can be pulled in the forward direction, so that the boot is kept in position on the binding by the combined action of the first and second engagement elements which cooperate to limit movement of the boot in the forward direction, as well as the third and fourth engagement elements, which cooperate to limit movement of the boot in the backward direction. 2. The arrangement of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first and second engagement elements comprise a first spring element which applies tension to the front end of the boot sole that tends to force the latter toward the ski or binding plate. 3. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein the first engagement element comprises at least one front contact-surface section, situated in front of the second engagement element, and one upper contact-surface section, situated above the second engagement element wherein the front contact-surface section limits displacement of the boot with respect to the ski in the forward direction, and the upper contact-surface section limits upward displacement thereof. 4. The arrangement according to claim 3, characterized in that the front contact-surface section is constructed as a slideway along which the second engagement element slides downward or upward when the back end of the boot sole is raised or lowered, respectively. 5. The arrangement according to claim 3, characterized in that the first engagement element is constructed as a hook element that comprises a lower contact-surface section disposed below the second engagement element that as a whole can slide substantially vertically. 6. The arrangement according to claim 5, characterized in that the ski binding comprises a slidaway for the first engagement element in the region of which the first spring member is disposed. 7. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein at least one of the third and fourth engagement elements comprises a second spring member which applies tension that tends to force the sole of the boot toward the ski or the binding plate. 8. The arrangement according to claim 7 characterized in that the second spring member is constructed as a longitudinally elastic band or cable, which extends below or along the side of the boot sole and connects the fourth engagement element to a fixation point on the ski or binding plate. 9. The arrangement according to claim 7, characterized in that the second spring member is constructed as a horizontally acting spring element that is disposed in the ski binding and is connected to the fourth engagement element by a band or cable that is substantially inelastic in the longitudinal direction. 10. The arrangement of claim 1, further comprising an elastically compressible counterpressure element positioned behind the first engagement element on the ski or the binding plate or behind the second engagement element on the underside of the boot sole such that the elastically compressible counterpressure element applies upwardly directed force to the corresponding part of the boot sole. 11. The arrangement of claim 10 wherein at least one of the third and fourth engagement elements comprises a second spring member which applies tension that tends to force the sole of the boot towards the ski or the binding plate and wherein the counterpressure element is disposed substantially between the first and fourth engagement elements on the ski or the binding plate or between the second and third engagement elements on the sole of the boot. 12. The arrangement of claim 10 wherein the counterpressure element comprises an elastomer block. 13. The arrangement according to claim 12, wherein at least one of the elastomer block and the binding plate have ridged or cleated profiles that correspond to one another. 14. The arrangement of claim 13, wherein correspondingly positioned sections of the binding plate and boot sole have correspondingly ridged profiles. 15. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein at least one of the second and third engagement elements on the boot sole is each constructed as an axle that extends transverse to the long axis of the ski. 16. The arrangement of claim 15 wherein the axle comprises steel. 17. The arrangement of claim 1, characterized in that the first engagement element comprises a catch hook that can be swivelled about an axle extending approximately parallel to the upper surface of the ski or the boot sole and transverse to the long direction of ski or boot, into which the front, second engagement element on the sole side can be inserted from behind. 18. The arrangement according to claim 17, characterized in that the catch hook or its swivelling axle is movable in the forward direction against the action of an elastic element. 19. The arrangement of claim 18 wherein the elastic element comprises a compression spring element. 20. The arrangement of claim 17, wherein longitudinal guidance of the boot on the ski or the binding plate is brought about by longitudinal ribs and grooves on at least one of the tread side of the boot sole and the sole supporting area of the ski or binding plate. 21. The arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that, in the region in front of the third engagement element, an elastic counterpressure element is provided so as to apply upward-directed force to the section of the sole situated ahead of the third engagement element. 22. The arrangement according to claim 21, characterized in that the elastic counterpressure element is an elastomer block or compression spring associated with the fourth engagement element. 23. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein the fourth engagement element can be shifted in the long direction of the ski, out of a boot-release position into a boot-retaining position and conversely. 24. The arrangement according to claim 23, characterized in that the fourth engagement element is connected to an actuator lever that occupies a stable top-dead-center position when the second engagement element is in the boot-retaining position. 25. The arrangement of claim 1, wherein the third engagement element is positioned in the ball and toe-base region whereas the second engagement element is situated at the front end of the sole. 26. The arrangement of claim 1 wherein the fourth engagement element can be shifted in the longitudinal direction of the ski out of a boot release position into a boot retaining position and conversely.
