With various windows compilers I have at my disposal, the type_traits
library tests are reporting unexpected failures. For example:

Intel C++ 5.0 atop VS6:

*
***************** failed above test: arithmetic_traits_test
********************
128 tests completed, 12 failures found, 0 failures expected from this
compiler.

Intel C++ 6.0 atop VS.NET:

*
***************** failed above test: arithmetic_traits_test
********************
128 tests completed, 12 failures found, 0 failures expected from this
compiler.

msvc6: no unexpected errors
vc7.0: no unexpected errors, 1 warning

metrowerks CWPro7.2:

*
***************** failed above test: object_type_traits_test
********************
201 tests completed, 21 failures found, 19 failures expected from this
compiler.

mingw (2.95.2): no unexpected errors
cygwin gcc 3.0.4: 2 warnings, no unexpected errors.
Borland 5.5.1: several warnings, no unexpected errors.
