=== boost::type_erasure fails to build as promised:

compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\type_erasure\build\msvc-9.0\release\link-static\threading-multi\dynamic_binding.obj
dynamic_binding.cpp
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE\utility(45) : error C2248: 'boost::shared_mutex::shared_mutex' : cannot access private member declared in class 'boost::shared_mutex'

            _Ty2=`anonymous-namespace'::mutex_type
        ]
        libs\type_erasure\src\dynamic_binding.cpp(30) : see reference to class template instantiation 'std::pair<_Ty1,_Ty2>' being compiled

            _Ty2=`anonymous-namespace'::mutex_type
        ]

=== boost::log creates over 8000 warnings, which seems a bit excessive:

compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\type_erasure\build\msvc-9.0\release\link-static\threading-multi\dynamic_binding.obj
dynamic_binding.cpp

            _Ty2=`anonymous-namespace'::mutex_type
        ]

=== boost::log shows a random warning while building, that seems to be new:

compile-c-c++ bin.v2\libs\log\build\msvc-9.0\release\build-no\link-static\log-api-winnt\threading-multi\syslog_backend.obj
syslog_backend.cpp
Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately. For example:
- add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to the compiler command line; or
- add _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to your project's Preprocessor Definitions.
Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 (i.e. Windows XP target).

This should probably be somewhere at the beginning at the configuration step. It’s also not really documented / differs from the documentation.
