I'll have to respond to myself here...

After a second look at the transform_iterator in Wave I (re-)discovered,
that it already uses the boost::transform_iterator (I had completely
forgotten about this ;-). The own implementation kicks in only when used in
conjunction with an older Boost version (containing the old IA library).

There are several places in Wave, which allow its compilation with older
Boost versions (back to V1.30.2), but I assume, that this backwards
compatibility can be removed if only Wave will be accepted to be part of
Boost in the future.
