No, by Boost.Config.

Yes, if it's cygwin hosted, then you might be able to use the configure 
script provided (but that really needs to run the test programs, and if it's 
a cross compiler you're out of luck).  Otherwise just try compiling each of 
the "no*pass.cpp" files with the compiler, whichever ones don't compiler 
will tell you which defect macros need setting.  However, if the compiler 
does use the Borland front end, and defines __BORLANDC__ then the good news 
is that all the defect macros should get set for you already and you won't 
have anything to do.  It's down to experimenting really...
