MSVC section in <boost/config.hpp>

One of the recent updates of <boost/config.hpp> introduced the line

   #define NOMINMAX

in the compiler-section for MSVC.  Although this may be convenient
for most of the users most of the time, I would like to ask that
this be replaced by the more conservative version

   #ifndef NOMINMAX
   #define NOMINMAX
   #endif

Technical reasons (aka compiler deficiencies) force us to define
NOMINMAX in some of our own project files, and with the current
settings of <boost/config.hpp>, MSVC issues a warning about the
redefinition.  (It's more or less undefined, which headers might
come first, ours or <boost/config.hpp>.)

Thanks,
Andreas
