If you are not compiling anything from the Boost root directory the error will 
not show up. If you try to build Boost libraries, and naturally start in the 
Boost root directory as specified in the Build instructions, the error should 
most certainly show up. I doubt if it has anything to do with Spirit 1.6.1 
versus Spirit 1.6.2 unless the Spirit developers changed the header file 
includes to the erroneous form from Spirit 1.6.1 to Spirit 1.6.2 for some arcane 
reason.
