[boost] BGL: possible problem using with VStudio .NET, release version.

Dear Sirs:

I am relatively new to the Boost community,
just let me add a big thanks for all the service rendered.

I have encountered a problem with the Boost
Graph Library and Microsoft Visual Studio, v 7.0,
the first released version.  Your postings
indicate BGL was recently tested with the
Visual Studio beta-2 version.  I am relatively
new to the v 7.0 version of Visual Studio, I
haven't been able to rule out a setup parameter
problem.

The same code compiled and worked with Visual Studio,
v 6.0, SP5.

Problem Symptoms:

- Boost Version: 1.25.1, and 1.27.0. (same symptoms)

- file: cv_traits.hpp

- functions: is_volatile, line-215
            is_const,    line-183

- compiler: the compiler issues error C1001.

C:\Work\Dev\External\Boost\boost_1_25_1\boost\type_traits\cv_traits.hpp(188) 
: fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
       (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 2844)
        Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
        Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more 
information
BglFirstLook.cpp

- desc: both functions have a complex macro call
using BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT which takes the
address of a static variable of type T, to form
the argument of functions "detail::is_const_helper" and  
"detail::is_volatile_helper".

Compiler, other details:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional      version 2002.
Microsoft Development Environment 2002 Version 7.0.9466
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0           Version 1.0.3705
Microsoft Visual C++ .NET              55537-652-0000007-18892

The compiler was installed off the DVD disk in the
MDSN Profesional Subscription,
"Disk 1332, March 2002,
Developer Tools,
Includes Visual Studio .NET Professional 2002, ..."

Supporting Information:
- I have attached the following files:
- BuildLog.htm, output from Visual Studio.
- VS_OutputWindow_2002Apr05.txt, annotated
VS output window text, with comments about
the problem.
- VStudio7Problem_2002apr06.zip, the full
code project that reproduces the problem.

I would appreciate any help on this topic.
My current workaround is to utilize
Visual Studio v 6.0, SP5.

I plan also to send this report to
Microsoft for their comments.
