It still sounds to me that boost needs to be bumped to 1.55 and possibly
some definitions need to added to the build configuration for Boost to
build properly.  If someone can include those changes along with Simon's
original patch.  I'll give it go and commit it if I don't have any
issues.  If there is a big backlash, I can always roll it out.
