Sorry, not enough sleep!  The syntax doesn't *have* to be different,
something like BOOST_CURRENT_VERSION(0x530) could easily transform it into
whatever is wanted.  So, yes, you could do it exactly like that.  In fact,
you can make these two equivalent:

#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__SUNPRO_CC, BOOST_CURRENT_VERSION(0x530))

-and-

#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__SUNPRO_CC, (BOOST_CURRENT_VERSION) 0x530)

If this is what you want, it is, by all means, implementable.
