[boost] errors building boost on MSVC71 - directory_iterator missing "advance" and "decrement" ?

I have two errors while building boost on MSVC71 (toolset vc7.1).
Apparently boost::filesystem::directory_iterator should have member
functions "decrement" and "advance", but these functions do not exist,
at least on my platform.
