Great.

    date t =
boost::date_time::parse_date<date>(std::string(
        __DATE__),
        ymd_order_us);

works for me.  Could 

  enum ymd_order_spec {ymd_order_iso,              
ymd_order_dmy, ymd_order_us};

be changed to something like:

  enum ymd_order_spec {ymd_order_ymd, ymd_order_dmy,
ymd_order_mdy, ymd_order_iso=ymd_order_ymd,
ymd_order_us=ymd_order_mdy };
