Ehm... the guidelines are a bit contrived. Why did you decide to kill the definitions in minmax.hpp?
There are several substantial threads about why the old definitions didn't work.

I'm still at loss. Why minmax.hpp can't just undef macroses?
Because people want to use boost libraries with other libraries that depend on those macros.
And the guidelines Eric posted are pretty complex for "I want ADL" case. Why that can't be wrapped in a function?
And really, what was the problem with the current minmax.hpp, except that it did not work on gcc-2.95-stlport?
