Yes.  A trivial transformation fixes that particular statement for
Borland:

     typedef typename mpl::if_<
         is_polymorphic<T>
         , polymorphic_id_generator<T>
         , non_polymorphic_id_generator<T> >::type type;

After applying a huge pile of these trivial transformations someone
will get to see the *real* problems Borland has with this library ;-).

Someone has been working on a Borland port (apologies to the person in
question, whose name I've forgotten), but we haven't seen the result
yet.
