.Take a look at

.
.and search for "wchar" and you'll a bunch of relevant macros,

.PS boost/config/user_config.hpp is the place for custom configs, see also: 
.http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/config/doc/html/index.html#boost_config.configuring_boost_for_your_platform 

Thanks John, I see. I hadn't thought of looking for configuration information in the library list, I assumed it would be separate. I'll try running the configure script and see what I get from that.
Thanks again
