Checking _just_ the compiler version would be wrong, but checking for
BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING as well should mean it catches GCC 2.x with
libstdc++-v2 but not GCC 2.x with STLport or libstdc++-v3 snapshots.

I haven't tested it though.  Does GCC 2.x with STLport support
std::wstring (and therefore leave BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING undefined) ?
