Comment (by apolukhin):

 It's the Boost policy to use Boost libraries if possible. Switching
 between Boost/Standard libraries depending on the compiler version or
 platform is not what people want. Such switching will break users code.

 If you wish to use Standard versions depending on some preprocessor macro
 (like BOOD_DLL_USE_STANDARD_LIBRARY_CLASSES=1), then I won't have time in
 the nearest future to do it myself, but I'm open to pull requests.
