 The documentation for the macro BOOST_VERSION is inconsistent / mistakable
 here

 <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/config/doc/html/boost_config/boost_macro_reference.html>

 It says:  "Describes the boost version number in XXYYZZ format"
 although the following detail description suggests XYYYZZ, i. e. three
 digits for the minor revision.

 And what about major revisions >9?  Will the number become longer then?
