I have proposed Boost.AFIO building and passing all unit soak tests 
on:

GCCs 4.6 to 4.9, x86, x64 and ARMv7a.

clangs 3.2 to 3.4, x86, x64. ARMv7a fails, but I don't think that is 
Boost's fault.

MSVCs 11 and 12, x86, x64.

The is a good test that AFIO's dependencies ASIO, Thread, Chrono, 
Filesytem are all strong in 1.56 under very heavy multithreaded 
usage.

What is currently failing is MSVC 10 (VS2010) in C++0x build mode. 
AFIO has not changed since Boost 1.55, so something has changed in 
1.56. It is something to do with the scoped enum emulation, what used 
to work no longer works in VS2010 on 1.56.

I don't think this is a showstopper though, I am currently working 
around it with new code.
