I looked at the wave library code and none of the source files actually contain 
the string BOOST_WAVE_SUPPORT_MS_EXTENSIONS.  Some of the headers, do, 
certainly.  But I began to wonder whether this option is something that can be
selected by the library user rather than the library builder.  Did you try 
simply building vera++ with this flag against the existing Boost.Wave library?
