Two issues here:
1.  Execution monitor compilation.
According to place where error occurred BOOST_UNIX_STYLE_SIGNAL_HANDLING is
used. That means
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <setjmp.h>

But it fails to find siglongjmp, sigaction and others sig... . Do we need
some other includes for this platform?

2. Test tools compilation
The same as with gcc it requires inclusion of floating_point_comparisons.
What MACRO designate this compiler? In fact it seems like a feature that
need to be handled through config system: instantiate unused templates. What
you think about introducing appropriate macro?

Boost.Config does not seems to define BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE for this
compiler. This cause all errors I think.

Do you have the arg template defined anywhere? I could rename formal
argument, but  why did this name clash happened?

Boost.Test is working on MSVC 6.5. What version are you using for
compilation?
