That is exactly what the rest of Boost has to do with C++ compilers.  Workarounds and alternate implementations abound.  I am fully aware of the burden this places on the typical Boost developer.  Personally, I would prefer "unsupported" over fallback to a different toolset (or assumption of said toolset).
