And after going through the pain of trying to make this a run time 
option (other boost dependencies still saw this break) I actually think 
the original patch is the best way to deal with this "now" as it relied 
(as I recall) on using a #define to choose the correct Boost.Timer.

Such an approach seems fairly standard in boost after-all.
