Wouldn't it be an option to test for the existence of std::make_shared.
This could be done using SFINAE. If it exists we can alias the
functionality from std:: into boost:: and if not we use the boost
implementation.

To make it less hairy the header could also be generated b2 before
building.

This way we maintain compatibility with older and competely unsupported
compilers running on unsupported operating systems (why are we doing
that again?) without causing interoperability trouble for others.
