I should have included link to previous message:
(http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/2085600)

I do not suggest new set of ASSERT-like macros.

My suggestion was:
- if NDEBUG is defined debug support is switched off, otherwise
- if BOOST_NDEBUG is defined debug support is switched off, otherwise
- if BOOST_DEBUG is defined all libraries will enable it, otherwise
- library defaults will apply
