You misused BOOST_NO_CV_SPECIALIZATIONS. It does not fit here.

Nope. You will need to ifdef.

This time it was even tougher. Major isuue!!!  MSVC can't resolve % 
manip(..). Ambiguity. So I was not able to compile everything.

Couple more issues:
1. str still need to be fully qualified.
2. _fwd header should not contain any internals.
3. include return 0 in all your main() bodies.
4. include != 0 where you implicitely cast from int to bool.
5. I still does not work properly
For example, here an output of simple_userType
[+   16/9]
[+00016/9]
[000+16/9]
simple_formats (only beggining till assert):
writing toto,  x=+40.2300 : +50-th step
o oo O oo o
+23-th step, x=+   0.0675, delta=+  30.3450 : Nothing yet
Assertion failed: s == " 11 22 ":...

I uploaded fixed version in vault area under format2 directory. 
Compare and you will see all my changes. Let me know when you done 
and I will remove it.

Gennadiy.
