Maybe I have something missed, but in my boost sources both aligned_storages 
are in the same namespace. And indeed I had to remove the new one in order 
to my code with boost::variant could be compiled. Revisions of aligned_storage.hpp 
files that I have are:

boost/aligned_storage.hpp 1.8
boost/type_traits/aligned_storage.hpp 1.2
