[boost] Boost.Test and free 7.1 tools

I've just tried building the Boost.Test library with the free VC 7.1 tools. I 
get this error:

msvc.compile.c++ ..\..\..
\bin\libs\test\build\msvc-7.1\debug\link-static\execution_monitor.obj
execution_monitor.cpp
..\..\..\libs\test\src\execution_monitor.cpp(52) : fatal error C1083: Cannot 
open include file: 'wtypes.h': No such file or directory

    call "W:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\vcvars32.bat" 
> nul 
cl  /Zm800 -nologo -TP  -DBOOST_TEST_NO_AUTO_LINK=1  /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /GX /GR /MDd   
-I"..\..\.."  -c -Fo"..\..\..
\bin\libs\test\build\msvc-7.1\debug\link-static\execution_monitor.obj"  "..
\..\..\libs\test\src\execution_monitor.cpp" 

All the other files compile fine, so I assume it's not misconfiguration, and 
that Boost.Test uses some header which is not included in free tools. Is it 
possible to fix that? I guess that I'm not the only one Linux user who would 
like to test code with free vc 7.1 and if Boost.Test fails to build that's 
not possible.

TIA,
Volodya
