To fix these errors, Boost needs at least a new configuration macro. See:

http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg28899.php

Then, we need to correctly define it in comeau.hpp (only in MS mode) and of
course other compilers, and then fix all the code that currently uses
__int64 so that it checks for this new macro.
