Currently, you don't need to override anything to build the Boost 
libraries that can be used with the v110_xp toolset.

Unfortunately, cflags=/arch:IA32 must be specified to make the Boost 
libraries compatible with old CPUs that don't support SSE (we have 
several customers who complained about this when we had switched to the 
VS2012). SSE2 is the default architecture for the VS2012.
