I think it would be ok to allow both options, but probably the
default should equal the Microsoft default with an easy way to
opt-out of the madness!
Agree 100%, our default should equal the compiler default, otherwise 
it'll catch too many folks out.

But AFAIK, even the prebuilt binaries that you get from Boost
Consulting are built with _SECURE_SCL=0.
Really ???  I hadn't realised that, that's not good IMO, given that the 
define changes the ABI away from the compilers default.
Dave, since its your company that prevides the binary, can you comment 
on this?
