Ok, the config reference is not very explicit about this, though.

Yes, we can set it for Comeau when in Microsoft mode, that is when
(defined(__COMO__) && defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER > 1)).

Not at all, please go for it. As I have already pointed out, several of them
are around compiler-specific pragmas, and the only issue is that we need to
add a dependency on config.hpp. I can help with Comeau testing, but I can't
do the work myself due to my lack of boost experience.
