Actually adding a command line switch, or punching the define into
user.hpp isn't all too bad in the grand scheme of things.
Until Intel provides the cues required, may I suggest that a comment
be placed in boost/type_traits/is_integral.h at line 38:
#ifndef BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T
// If the following line fails to compile and you're using the Intel
// compiler, see
// http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost-users/msg06567.php

It seems to me that it would be better still to put

    #ifdef BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T
        BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(is_same::value);
    #else
        BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(!is_same::value);
    #endif

after the conditional definition of BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T to
verify that the macro has been set/unset correctly.

Ben.
