I don't have VC 7.1 installed so I can't verify/fix/track this down this directly.
This gets invoked by a higher level STATIC_ASSERT.  Other users
have just commented out the STATIC_ASSERT and moved on.  If
anyone can get to bottom of this and fix it please let me know so
I can roll in the change.

I suspect a couple of anomolies with VC 7.0 and VC 7.1 regarding
mpl bool_ and if_  . Also I have some doubts about type traits is_fundamental<size_t>. 
I don't have VC 7.1 installed.  I looked at the compiler status page and much
to my disappointment I don't see any run of the mpl tests.  mpl
does have a complete test suite.  Is there any reason that this
test can't be included in the regression test run?
