    If you're rewriting the config macros, one change I'd strongly 
recommend is a strict separation between macros that are to be defined 
by the users and macros that are defined in config.hpp.  If the 
documentation says that a macro should be defined by users, then it 
should not be defined by any of the boost libraries.
