 Compilation of files that include Boost fail with the CUDA Toolkit version
 9.

 The reason for that is that at boost/config/compiler/nvcc.hpp, line 22 and
 26 you use the macro `__CUDACC_VER__` for version checking, but the symbol
 has been deprecated in CUDA 9.

 Line 64 in `crt/common_functions.h` of the CUDA toolkit now reads:

 {{{
 #define __CUDACC_VER__ "__CUDACC_VER__ is no longer supported.  Use
 __CUDACC_VER_MAJOR__, __CUDACC_VER_MINOR__, and __CUDACC_VER_BUILD__
 instead."
 }}}

 The fix seems simple enough, instead of checking for the whole version,
 you could check separately for `__CUDACC_VER_MAJOR__` and
 `__CUDACC_VER_MINOR__` .
