Ok, seeing as you're the second person to have a problem with this, 
what I can do is add the source code to the special #if 0 filtering 
tool which strips out the #if 0 blocks into a special pristine boost 
only branch. I have modified the relevant issue at 
https://github.com/BoostGSoC13/boost.afio/issues/93.

For the record, I strenously disagree with this viewpoint. It is the 
same as claiming that code formatting differences are a code smell.
