When the a new release is made, we're keeping the old version numbers handy,
right?  What about something like:

// Current version
#define BOOST_VERSION 102200

// Old versions
#define BOOST_VERSION_20010316 102102

Or:

// Versioned releases
#define BOOST_VERSION_20010316  102102
#define BOOST_VERSION_20010528  102200

// Current release
#define BOOST_VERSION  BOOST_VERSION_20010528

The suffix is the date in the ISO format.
