Good work tracking that down. It looks like maybe there is already a boost
config for this.  That is 

BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T

Could you see if this is defined when you you compile without the /Zc:wchar_t
option on VC7.1?  If this is defined I can just use it to define
BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_WSTRING_CONVERSIONS which would take care of the problem.
