As a side note to this thread, BLL appears to be compatible with Comeau 4.3
BETA1, using VC7 as backend. All the tests compile and work fine, but
exception_test.cpp which fails with this error:

"d:\\boost_1_28_0\\boost/lambda/exceptions.hpp", line 373: error: no
instance
          of constructor "boost::lambda::tagged_lambda_functor<Tag,
          boost::lambda::lambda_functor<Arg>>::tagged_lambda_functor [with

Tag=boost::lambda::detail::exception_catch_tag<boost::lambda::detail:
          :catch_all_block>,

Args=boost::lambda::lambda_functor_base<boost::lambda::do_nothing_act
          ion, boost::tuples::null_type>]" matches the argument list
            argument types are: (boost::tuples::null_type)
      > (null_type());

The regression tests fail since they're using 4.3+MSVC6 which doesn't work
for some (unknown) reason. I'm waiting for the new Comeau version (due any
day now) before reporting this issue.
