[boost] Proposed Boost config macro

I'd like a macro to detect that a compiler requires a return value
even when no paths return from a function. Example:

    int f()
    {
        throw "hello";
    };

If this fails to compile, we may need to add a dummy "return 0;" at
the end. I know of two compilers which act this way: Metrowerks and
HP.
