Subject: [boost] Deprecation guidelines?

I was trying to figure out how Boost handles deprecated classes,
functions, headers, macros, etc.
The following command finds several approaches within boost
$ grep -ir deprecate boost-1.44.0/include/boost/* \
| grep -v "This header is deprecated" \
| grep -v BOOST_SPIRIT_DEPRECATED
Surprisingly, none of these use compiler support. e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/295120/c-mark-as-deprecated
Where can one find guidelines on how to deprecate things in Boost? What
is the proper way to check that code using Boost is clean?
Thanks,
Daniel
