Hi, I've created patches to remove or simplify some ifdefs for MSVC versions which are now obsolete. There are many more to do. http://www.steveire.com/msvc_obsolete_versions_patches This is a followup to this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/243094 (Removing old config macro and increasing compiler requirements., 2013-07-29) The patches are most easily applied locally and reviewed with a git-svn checkout and git am. I'll also apply to get SVN access so I can commit patches myself. Thanks, Steve.
