Done.

Not done. In fact, most of the program_option tests suddenly fail now on 
Linux. Moreover, *lots* of other library fail too. BGL is almost red/yellow, 
and even smart_ptr fails most tests. Seems a configuration problem.

Consider this postponed. I might get it working or might not, but this is not 
release critical.

There are problems.

1. VC7.1 can't find one symbol
2. Intel tests seems to crash at runtime or don't start at all. I'd 
appreciated if you let me know what exactly happens
3. Comeau does not understand __declspec

This might take some time -- Fri 15 is more or less realistic. OTOH, this 
should not block branch for release -- fixes for this problems are very 
local.
