I wrote up what I managed to do at:

Since then Walter has fixed some of the bugs, but unfortunately theere
has also been a regression which causes boost::is_pointer to fail on the
stable version, because partial specialisation on member functions no
longer works. The new beta version should fix that, as well as some
other issues.
And I think recent versions should be able to use the preprocessor
library without any workarounds.
