I have essentially backed out a fix on 'develop' for VC++8.0 which
intended to fix another problem with a multiple definitions linking
error, https://github.com/boostorg/mpl/pull/36.

I would like to push this change to 'master'. It should fix your problem
above with VC++8.0. I will subsequently take another look at the
original fix and see if it can not be corrected.
