How about:

#ifdef __WIN32__
#include <win32/myfile.hpp>
#elif ...
...
#endif

So that dependency analysis works with Boost.Build without yet more 
special case kludges ;-) And so that people with smart text editors can 
select the include file and open it directly. And so that other people 
reading the code have a chance at understanding it.
