 Replying to [comment:1 djowel]:
 > why not just switch to a newer compiler?

 I personally do use a newer compiler, but I am maintaining a public R
 package that depends on Boost. Sadly, the officially supported CRAN
 compiler for Windows is still mingw's g++ 4.6.3 and some users
 nevertheless prefer to use its incomplete c++0x standard. Another R
 package maintainer is facing the same problem

 /odeintr-00install.html

 If you would like me to use my hack fix, I would understand. But mingw
 4.6.3 is still listed as on the Boost webpage as one of the "primary test
 compilers" for Windows, although I guess without the -std=c++0x flag.
