I wrote up what I managed to do at:

http://lists.boost.org/boost/2004/08/10552.php

Since then Walter has fixed some of the bugs, but unfortunately theere 
has also been a regression which causes boost::is_pointer to fail on the 
stable version, because partial specialisation on member functions no 
longer works. The new beta version should fix that, as well as some 
other issues.

And I think recent versions should be able to use the preprocessor 
library without any workarounds.
