Maybe if you can get concrete and point out a compiler in config/compiler/* that could have a problem with the above kind _MSC_VER removal, then I might understand.
I can't. I have no idea what compilers in use today (besides Intel) define _MSC_VER and to what.
Ok, I think the best way forward is to find out what compiler versions no longer should be supported, and finding out about the msvc compatibility of the remaining minimum version. That means bringing this thread to a conclusion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/243923/focus=244226 At least Borland and codegear have a msvc mode, according to my grep in config/compilers. Comeau does too, but I have no idea if that one has a successor or if it is so ancient it should be dropped. Any clue? What can you tell us about intel? Thanks, Steve.
