   This was committed previously as 4975ae172 and reverted, because the flags were applied even if the checks didn’t pass. This is the same commit, fixed up to actually disable the functionality when necessary.

   Enabled automatically if boost >= 1.49. See: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2309

   Also, check for a default visibility attribute, so that we can mark future api functions correctly.

   Automatic sanity-testing: PASSED, see http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/p4725_e432a5f08d75480753cf3cf81d656f0e1dd4da79/ for binaries and test log. This test script verifies pulls every time they are updated. It, however, dies sometimes and fails to test properly. If you are waiting on a test, please check timestamps to verify that the test.log is moving at http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/current/ Contact BlueMatt on freenode if something looks broken.
