Sorry, I was being dense and missed your point. I've had a look at the
Visual C++ 10 beta results and that has the situation you describe and
BOOST_NO_INITIALIZER_LISTS is required in that case.

I went ahead and added a check to config/suffix.hpp to set
BOOST_NO_INITIALIZER_LISTS if the headers aren't available:
