Recently I puzzled why autolink did not work for some programs. After some stumbling about, I realised that this was because _MSC_EXTENSIONS is a required definition (as well as MSVC). I can't see why this should be - autolink works perfectly well regardless of the compiler setting chosen. (But I can see why most people will not see this - because MS require the language extensions). But I suggest that in autolink.hpp #if (defined(BOOST_MSVC) && defined(_MSC_EXTENSIONS)) can helpfully be replaced by #if (defined(BOOST_MSVC)) for those whose preferences are for strictness'.
