Daryle,

BOOST_SITE_CONFIG has become BOOST_USER_CONFIG.
boost/config/user_policy.hpp and boost/config/user.hpp have been folded
into a single boost/config/user.hpp (that is included before everything
else).
The weak conversion operators macro has been removed from boost - so has
the test file.

It's not detecting the MSL standard library for some reason, in the
detection code I use:

#include <utility>

#if defined(__SGI_STL_PORT)
   // STLPort library, this _must_ come first:
#  define BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG <boost/config/stdlib/stlport.hpp>
#elif defined(__STD_RWCOMPILER_H__) || defined(_RWSTD_VER)
   // Rogue Wave library:
#  define BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG <boost/config/stdlib/roguewave.hpp>
#elif defined(_YVALS) || defined(_CPPLIB_VER)
   // Dinkumware Library:
#  define BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG <boost/config/stdlib/dinkumware.hpp>
#elif defined(__GLIBCPP__)
   // GNU libstdc++ 3
#  define BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG <boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp>
#elif defined(__STL_CONFIG_H)
   // generic SGI STL
#  define BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG <boost/config/stdlib/sgi.hpp>
#elif defined(__MSL__)
   // MSL standard lib:
#  define BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG <boost/config/stdlib/msl.hpp>
#endif

So the question is:  is including <utility> sufficient to result in __MSL__
getting defined?  It looks not.  BTW I choose <utility> here because it's
by far the most lightweight of the standard lib headers.  The other errors
that you're seeing are all resulting from that mis-detection.  Any ideas
what I need to include to locate __MSL__ if it's defined?
