Dave,

If you want it, here's what I was planning:

default behaviour: pessimistic, compiler versions newer than the last known
version are assumed to have all the known defects of the last version.

BOOST_STRICT_CONFIG defined: optimistic, compilers newer than the last
known version are assumed to be fully compliant.

BOOST_ASSERT_CONFIG defined: anything unknown generates a #error - lib
needs configuring.

Happy?
