I suggest you to just replace the current implementation with

#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp>
[...]
namespace QuantLib {
[...]
   bool Date::isLeap(Year y) {
       return boost::gregorian::gregorian_calendar::is_leap_year(y);
   }
[...]
}

I will commit this change unless objections are raised

PS any volunteer for QuantLib::Date boostification, i.e. usage of boost::gregorian in the implementation of QuantLib::Date ?
