As they say in the game development industry, "your name goes in the

I can't see this anywhere?

BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL enables mem_fn to understand __stdcall member
functions (for COM compatibility.)

MSVC also doesn't like the "primary" section and is always directed to the
alternate definitions by

#if defined(BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL) || (defined(BOOST_MSVC) &&
BOOST_MSVC <= 1300)

We'll need to add a check for Metrowerks <= 7.1 here as well.

Looks OK to me. Go ahead.
