Not a direct answer to your question, but... you have made me curious. I 
hacked together something which counts the occurences of the various 
BOOST_WORKAROUND macros in use. Attached is the result.

This is far from perfect, but as you can see the majority of workaround are 
either for gcc < 3 of for the various versions of MSVC.
