I still want to make this change for the next major version of VC, and having Boost migrated will help with that (as we've harnessed Boost in our tests).

Note that unary_function/etc. also need to be migrated, as _HAS_AUTO_PTR_ETC=0 controls everything.

(And yes, we're aware of some MS libraries that need to respect the option; PPL is being fixed, and I know my collection.h is also using unary_function.)

Thanks,
