So John, would you be interested in trying to get this sorted out for 
the next release?  As I have said, I currenly only use BCB, and so can't 
offer much help for other compilers.

Would it be best to have something like a  boost/config/preinclude.hpp 
file which includes a compiler specific pre-include and then a 
boost/config/postinclude.hpp for afters?

I've created ones for BCB which I use here, that simply do

#praga nopushoptwarn
#pragma option push -a8 -b -Vx -Ve -pc -w-8027

for pre and

#pragma nopushoptwarn
#pragma option pop

for post (probably don't need the nopushoptwarn in postinclude though).

These options are from regex.  I may be a better idea not to include 
disabling warnings in the default boost options?  And also, It might be 
worth adding -Vg- to disable codeguard for boost, unless the new build 
system will build CodeGuard libraries as well as non-cg enabled libraries.

These options also should be the same as the default jam options for the 
compiler also.

What do you think?

Thanks

Russell
