Comment:

 I'm attaching a new patch. It includes the changes to blank.hpp (as it
 seems to be part of variant - that it isn't documented or tested is
 another bug, all top level headers should have a link to their library's
 documentation). It also adds a couple of notes to reference documentation
 and fixes the tests for when `BOOST_NO_TYPEID` isn't defined. I tested it
 with the following in my `user-config.jam`:
 {{{
 using darwin : 4.4nortti : ccache g++-mp-4.4 -fno-rtti ;
 }}}

 `BOOST_NO_IOSTREAM` is harder to test as the tests rely heavily on it, but
 I tried a simple file which included STLport with `_STLP_USE_NO_IOSTREAMS`
 defined and it seemed okay.
