"Anything that will not fail to configure." would be the statement.

I have a low-priority plan to do test builds against different Boost
versions, once I've found out how to do this efficiently in Jenkins (git
version selection happens before build parameters are evaluated, so I
cannot just create a matrix build).

Presently, we have

 - Debian stable (1.58 IIRC)
 - Windows MSYS (1.62)
 - Windows MSVC (1.60)
 - MacOS (?)
