Not all Boost libraries support the same set of compilers.
You can get an idea of how well different compilers are actually 
supported from
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html

At a minimum, you'll need to be able to test with any compiler that you 
want to support.

That largely depends on what kind of code you are writing and thus how many
compiler bugs you have to deal with...
