[boost] [TR1] Test failures with VC9 + MS TR1

I've run a set of regression tests against Trunk with VC9 and the release MS TR1.
Results are @ http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/tr1.html,
under the RW_WinXP_VC runner.

A couple of observations:

1) The test_regex\std_test_regex tests are failing because basic_regex doesnt
have an 'empty' member. However, the TR1 spec doesnt seem to say that it should?

2) The test file @ "libs/config/test/has_tr1_regex_fail.cpp" says:
#ifndef BOOST_HAS_TR1_ARRAY
#include "boost_has_tr1_regex.ipp"

Shouldnt that be
#ifndef BOOST_HAS_TR1_REGEX ?

As far as the other failures go: some of them are 'by design' (e.g. is_base_of)
due to MS following the current proposed spec rather than sticking to the TR1
draft, but others i'm not sure about (e.g. result_of).
Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks,
Richard Webb
