[boost] [config][1.33.1] MinGW improvements?

In the past few days I've been trying to get Boost using the upcoming 
STLport-5 release. In the process I've been checking Boost with the 
latest MinGW 3.4.2 release. And I found that some things have improved. 
In particular this change...

I.e. it looks like, after running various tests of libraries that use 
that functionality, that not only are they present but functioning.

OK to commit? ...To the 1.33.1 branch?

It also looks like C99 wide char functions are also implemented and 
working. But I guess not enough for libstdc++ to work, but enough for 
STLport-5 to work. So with one exception, it should be possible to have 
MinGW+STLport support all wide char ops. The exceptions are that it 
doesn't have the non-reentrant wide char functions not in C99; AFAIK.
