Comment:

 The current Boost.Config has been changed to include <cstddef> rather than
 <utility> which cuts down the platform #includes somewhat.

 Other than that, I don't see how we can streamline this: the std lib and
 platform feature detection code has to include a certain number of
 platform headers to work.  I also note that the biggest pull-in of headers
 in your example comes from <memory>, are you really suggesting that
 shared_ptr could live without that #include?

 Sorry, but I don't see this as a bug.
