I'm just getting around to upgrade to Boost 1_31_0 from Boost 1_30_0.

Since Intel C++ on Windows is supposed to be compatible with Visual C++ I think this should be testing _NATIVE_WCHAR_T_DEFINED and not _WCHAR_T_DEFINED. VC++ defines the latter if wchar_t is an intrinsic type *or* a type alias but it defines the former only if wchar_t is an intrinsic type. I couldn't find any detailed documentation for Intel C++ online so I don't know if it is exactly compatible in this respect.
