Ok, maybe we're still in time to fix it before next version then.

I think Joel might be interested more. Joel?
Anyway, is there a link for this?

Well, there is boost\libs\spirit\test\Jamfile. Is that ok for you?

In past two days, I committed some patches to Spirit to workaround MWCW8.3
bugs. In my tests, there are no more regressions. I'm actually waiting another
round of MetaComm results to double-check.

The two patches here:
http://sf.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3635650&forum_id=25901
workaround bugs which were not reported though. Maybe you want to try and
isolate the bugs for submission.
