Microsoft are testing their update system for Visual Studio 2012 [1], which includes a v110_xp toolset [2] for "restoring" support for building software that may run on Windows XP.
In essence, it uses a repurposed Windows 7 SDK with the VS 2012 compiler, instead of the Windows 8 SDK used in the normal v110 toolset.
What implications do you think this has for Boost.Config and all the things predicated on MSC_VER, as this decorrelates the compiler version from the Windows SDK it uses.
I don't see why that would have any effect on Boost.Config: anything that depends on the SDK version shouldn't be compiler dependent. John.
