There's some serious weirdnesses in the logic of defining BOOST_NO_STD_UNORDERED; can you take a look at the STLPort configuration and let me know what you think should be done there?

Also, is there/should there be a relationship between  BOOST_NO_STD_UNORDERED and BOOST_HAS_TR1_HDR_UNORDERED_MAP/SET?
