[boost] int64_t with MSVC 7.1 & 'strict' /Za option

Trying to use boost/date-time in MSVC 7.1 in 'strict' mode option /Za 'disable
language extensions' it seems that

boost::int64_t isn't available.

After a journey through the labryinthine config modules, I have got compiling
with

#define BOOST_HAS_MS_INT64 // required if language extensions disabled /Za.

as the first statement.

but I am unclear if this is a deficiency in either boost/cstdint and/or
date-time/compiler_config.hpp

or in my understanding of the MS option

but it might be worth documenting somewhere, perhaps as a comment in
cstdint.hpp?
