Comeau and Intel fail because void returns don't work, but
BOOST_NO_VOID_RETURNS is not defined (they fail config_test as well.)

Both compilers can be configured to allow void returns, I believe - probably
their MS compatibility mode turns void returns off.

The Metrowerks failure has been #ifdef-ed out in the latest version of
bind_test.cpp.

The MSVC failures are due to the internal compiler error with debug info on.
They, too, are addressed (by turning off void return support in mem_fn.hpp)
by the latest versions in the CVS.

Please update and re-test.
