Perhaps BOOST_FUNCTION_NO_DEPRECATED isn't worth its sum in ASCII. It's 
intended to be a portability aid to bridge the syntax changes, but if it is 
causing this many problems (which I _don't_ know how to detect), then maybe 
it should disappear. Or maybe just give a stern warning in the 
documentation...
