Some (if not most) of these uses may well be outdated workarounds for 
compiler bugs involving use of && and || in integral constant expressions.

But it's likely that the arguments to those mpl::and_ and mpl::or_ come from 
type traits, and Boost.TypeTraits depends on MPL.

Of course type traits are standard in C++11, so it will be possible with a 
bit more work.
