non-ASCII comments in boost headers break visual studio compilers on east-asian codepages

Description

I've seen a number of tickets on this subject but I wrote a Python script to find them all in 1.50.0. I've attached the script and the error report it generates showing the file name, line number and line content so it can be used to locate them all. Hope this is useful.

Tickets that are associated to several libraries are not well suited. I see two solutions:

You create explicit tickets for each one of the libraries, or you provide a patch and request the development ML for some one to apply it.

Just so you know, the boost inspection tool already checks for this. You can see the results in the inspection reports.

Please, create a ticket for each library.
