OK, finally got the latest version into our builds.

Looks good, but I found the following change significantly reduced our
number of warnings:

boost/format.hpp:

was

#if !defined(BOOST_MSVC) || BOOST_MSVC > 1300 
#define BOOST_OVERLOAD_FOR_NON_CONST
#endif

now

#if !defined( __BORLANDC__ )  &&  !defined(BOOST_MSVC) || BOOST_MSVC >
1300 
#define BOOST_OVERLOAD_FOR_NON_CONST
#endif

I'm not sure what this code does, as turning it off seems to be an
MS-specific hack.  What features is this intended for?
[With this define enabled, BCB binds all function returns to the
non-const version and then complains that it has done so.]
