I am aware of the problems with in class initialization and
unfortunately you'll have to wait for VC7.1 for this to be fixed.  Don't
ask when VC7.1 will be available, but you can assume it won't take
nearly as long as VC7 has.

I removed the following for VC7:

#       define BOOST_MSVC_STD_ITERATOR 1
#       define BOOST_NO_TEMPLATED_ITERATOR_CONSTRUCTORS
#       define BOOST_NO_STD_ALLOCATOR
#       define BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE
  
The following could also be removed, but it requires the command line
switch /Zc:wchar_t:

#     define BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T

In theory the following could be removed, I just haven't tried it yet:

#     define BOOST_NO_EXPLICIT_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_ARGUMENTS
