Curiosity got the better of me, and I did an experimental run on build 
2292.

Looks pretty good. A vast improvement over prior releases. Problems noted:

   * Missing overloads for long long.
   * boost/type_traits/is_convertible.hpp line 153 giving it fits.
   * A few other scattered failures on code working for other compilers.

I'm not going to post the results; no point in worrying about workarounds 
until we see what the actual shipped version does.
