Yes, you do, and that also fixes the C++17 issue of course, but you did
that at the time with VS2010 (or even VS2008) and it succeeded. Boost-1.47
must include a ton of work-arounds to fix the non-compliance of both the
pre-processor, the compiler and its STL. Compiling those with VS2017/19
will certainly break some of those (I **am** guessing here), coz the
Boost-1.47 code has no knowledge of the now much better compliance of VS.
