Thanks, I'm feeling enlightened!

Now there's just the small question of how to resolve the issues at hand...
I see three options:

0) Apply the patches as they come along - there are ~800
BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT's to be (reported and) augmented with
BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION.

1) Add the #ifdef:ed BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION wherever there's
BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT. Naturally, this is also ~800 occurences.

2) Change the config for this (conforming, but let's forget that for now)
compiler, and #define BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION. Be it a hack
or not, it's a one-liner.

Would anyone be terribly upset if I go with option 2? 

Both 0 and 1 would be painful (not only because of the sheer number, but
also because it will need to change again once the Standard changes, which
in turn would result in YAM [Yet Another Macro] to be used for changing
this).

What do you think?
