Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/?source=navbar and 
click on "download official installer".

I suspect there are some MSVC workarounds which should be enabled for 
Mingw too?

It depends: if you need variadic support in the PP library then you're 
doing the right thing (but the new interface will basically only be 
usable on MSVC/GCC/Clang and nothing else.

If you only need variadic support in the compiler then 
|BOOST_NO_CXX11_VARIADIC_MACROS is the config macro of choice.

HTH, John.
