BOOST_NO_STD_MIN_MAX can break VC++

Using VC++, I find that if the statement, #import <msxml.dll>, comes 
prior to the inclusion of boost headers, the compile breaks down 
(with "unexpected syntax error"s) on the new (as of version 1.18.1) 
std::min and std::max declarations in boost/config.hpp. I assume that min 
and max are something of a boondoggle with Windows, but I don't know 
much about that issue.

(Of course, if boost included an XML parser, then I wouldn't have to use 
the Microsoft one... :)
