Comment:

 Same problem here. My system codepage is Chinese(codepage 936), and some
 header files can't be displayed properly. for example, in
 utility/enable_if.hpp, the copyright mark and the author's name are not
 right. This make vc2005 emit lots of warnings(c4819).

 I have to surpress the warning manually or change the boost header file
 myself for successful building. I believe this happens on all Chinese,
 Japanese, Korean windows system.

 I suggest use only basic source set characters in header files. It's
 simply not possible to display every name correctly unless the file is in
 unicode.
