Very good job. The only part I think I've not understood completely is
the issues section: particularly the sentence

  "The only option I can think of is to go ahead and define the
   corresponding version macro and have the code deal with the
   multiple defs."

Considering, for instance, Comeau with _MSC_VER defined, you mean user
code would need to do:

 #if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_CXX_COMO, == ...) &&     \
     (defined _MSC_VER && _MSC_VER == ...)

? That seems acceptable to me.
