BOOST_NO_LIMITS_COMPILE_TIME_CONSTANTS

How should the BOOST_NO_LIMITS_COMPILE_TIME_CONSTANTS macro interact with
boost/limits.hpp?
In order to suppress warnings generated by numeric_cast with MinGW, I had to
change checks to:

#if !defined(BOOST_NO_LIMITS_COMPILE_TIME_CONSTANTS) ||
defined(BOOST_SGI_CPP_LIMITS)

...which looks at the #include guard for boost/limits (ick). I think it
would be a mistake to turn off BOOST_NO_LIMITS_COMPILE_TIME_CONSTANTS inside
limits.hpp because of ODR implications. Maybe we need another macro that
says whether we have the constants after including boost/limits.hpp?
