Hubert, your test code should almost never need to include
<boost/config.hpp>, I'm talking about your *headers* here, and specifically
the <boost/math/special_functions/*.hpp> headers which use
BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION without including
<boost/config.hpp>, and that's why the special functions don't compile with
VC6/7.

I hope so, the regression tests for octonion and quaternion seem to be
failing for *all* compilers at present :-(
