Yes, we have tested it -- although I suppose it is possible we missed
something.  But, I believe you are missing that the greg_month and
greg_weekday get their exports automatically by being class members.

Just to clarify this is b/c instead of 

#ifdef BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC // defined in config system
#if defined(BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK) || defined(BOOST_WHATEVER_DYN_LINK)

we are using 

#if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_DLL)
# define BOOST_DATE_TIME_HAS_DLL_RUNTIME
#endif

Right?
