The code I write needs to compile under several older versions of Boost, as I'm sure is very common.

I have been tripped up by using const_pointer_cast, which apparently doesn't exist very far into the past.

The header 'ponter_cast.hpp' was added in boost 1.34, if that helps.

It does, on this specific query, which makes my life somewhat easier today, thanks!

In general I was hoping for a more general excavation strategy for older versions, as this kinda thing comes up quite often.

I guess running svn log on the interesting file is the most straigh-forward approach. Once you identify revision where some functionality is added, you can examine the next release after that to see if the change was merged, or not. - Volodya
