The rule-of-thumb is to begin these deficiency macros with BOOST_NO_ to
make it clear a conforming implementation does not need the macro.

So BOOST_NO_STD_LIB_ADL_PROTECTION might be a better name.

John Maddock is really the gatekeeper for this sort of macro, and he is
also familiar with the Borland compiler. John, what do you think?
