No longer "apparently". It's definitely broken:

boost/utility_fwd.hpp contains (among other things):

namespace boost
{
//  From <boost/noncopyable.hpp> 
--------------------------------------------//
class noncopyable;
} // namespace boost

while boost/noncopyable.hpp contains:

namespace boost {
namespace noncopyable_  // protection from unintended ADL
{
   class noncopyable
   {
    protected:
       noncopyable() {}
       ~noncopyable() {}
    private:  // emphasize the following members are private
       noncopyable( const noncopyable& );
       const noncopyable& operator=( const noncopyable& );
   };
}

typedef noncopyable_::noncopyable noncopyable;

} // namespace boost

I'm pretty sure that it's not valid C++ .
