[boost] STLPort 5.0 questions

I've installed STLPort 5.0 in order to track down some test case errors.

Right away I have a problem.  It seems that by default STLPort 5.0 with VC 
7.1 uses an
unsigned short for wchar_t (I could be wrong, the information is kind of 
thin).  I've looked
at the config stuff and its not clear that config and STLPort address this 
issue.  That is, its
not clear whether the Boost Macro for this feature is guarenteed to be in 
sync with the
way that STLPort 5.0 is built.

The tests don't make it clear how the STLPort is built in this regard.

Ideally, the config system would be able to set the appropriate BOOST macros
in accordance with the particular build of STLPort library.  I'm not sure 
whether
or not such a thing is possible.

I would be interested in hearing any information on this.
