For the next release (and probably for some time into the future), release 
criteria includes regression tests passing with Microsoft's VC++ 7.1. All 
current Boost regression tests pass with that compiler (modulo one or two 
waiting for minor fixes). IIRC, the only bugs it has that effect Boost 
libraries are rarely encountered namespace problems, and these are very 
easy to workaround without a lot of ugliness.

Metrowerks Codewarrior is also highly regarded. It implements two-phase 
name lookup, so turns up bugs other compilers miss. Modulo a few remaining 
compiler issues, I'd be concerned if a Boost library didn't work with it.
