The results I see now show that only two program_options tests fail, which is 
quite nice. I have a question about the remaining failures.

The error message is:

"../libs/program_options/test/variable_map_test.cpp", line 59.35: 1540-0157 
(S) The text ">" is unexpected.  It may be that this token was intended as a 
template argument list terminator but the name is not known to be a template.

The line in question is:

    BOOST_TEST(vm["foo"].as<string>() == "'12'");

That line should access variables_map instance and get an instances of 
'variable_value' class (defined in boost/program_options/variables_map.hpp). 
Finally, template function 'as' is called. Apparently, vacpp does not believe 
'as' to be a template. Do you have any ideas? I don't expect that a 
workaround is possible, so this part of library will be unsuable, but maybe 
you can at least bug compiler developers.
