  That may work for Qt but is not an acceptable attitude for ECM, IMHO - and MSVC is problematic enough to build KF5 code for other reasons not to jump through hoops for it. You cannot expect FOSS projects to avoid Boost because it uses less common feature of the standard, big ole bad M$ cannot be bothered to write a proper compiler. I'd be all for blacklisting such compilers, if anything had to be blacklisted.
  The projects I'm aware of that use "incriminated" boost code do provide MSWin builds but using a properly standards-compliant compiler.
  
  My proposal is thus to drop MSVC support in the new macro, printing a warning should be enough.
