Since predef works at compile time would it be possible to figure out 
the compiler target OS, as separate from the OS on which the compilation 
is occurring, as perhaps BOOST_TARGET_OS_XXX values ? Of course when not 
cross-compiling the BOOST_TARGET_OS_ would be the same as the BOOST_OS_.

Just an interesting thought after all.

Enjoy your traveling.
