This seems quite critical to me. As the times goes, more and more boost
libraries might use variant and therefore become incompatible with
Boost.Graph. Wouldn't it be better to break backward compatibility for a
given release and solve this issue ? The backward compatibility is
already broken : our codebase compiles fine in Boost 1.39 and doesn't in
Boost 1.41 because of this issue.
