Looks much improved, thanks!

Two of the config_info macros look a bit questionable:

     BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP       [no value]
     BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T               [no value]

Perhaps BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP is needed to be able to use the 
Microsoft library?

BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T seems completely wrong. That isn't even set for 
VC++7.0. Or am I missing something? (The command line is below.)

Regardless, I'm now rerunning the full regression tests for intel-win32, 
and will let you know if it turns up anything interesting.

Thanks,
