This works for me:

  namespace boost {
    namespace detail { struct none_helper {}; }
    typedef int (*none_t)(detail::none_helper);
    inline int none(detail::none_helper) { return 0; }
  }

(Which is your version with the obvious typos and warnings
corrected.) That removes the regression I was describing.

But I don't have ready access to one of the compilers
(Borland or VC7.1 ?) that exhibits problems with precompiled
headers.
