Hi Pavol,

Here are the plans for BOOST_NO_DEDUCED_TYPENAME/BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME:

  1. Rename to BOOST_NO_TYPENAME/BOOST_TYPENAME

  2. Define BOOST_NO_TYPENAME additionally for Borland 5.5.1 (and
     possibly higher versions)

  3. Update the Boost.Config tests so that it will be detected for
     Borland 5.5.1 (and possibly higher versions)

  4. Update the Boost.Config documentation to reflect the name change
     and the fact that it applies to all contexts, not just deduced
     ones.

If you would like to submit a patch set which accomplishes the above,
and adds VC7 to the mix, I'd be very pleased to integrate it into the
CVS.

Thanks!
