You shouldn't really need to use those compatibity headers - and you 
definitely shouldn't copy them over your existing ones - that would be a 
very quick way to break your WDK install.  I don't know enough about the WDK 
to know how standards conforming it is, but it may be that you need to 
define BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE when building.  You might also want to try 
building libs/config/test/config_test.cpp to see if Boost is correctly 
configured for that platform, as I don't think it's something we've ever 
really supported.

HTH, John.
