Yes, I just noticed this yesterday and was rather surprised: I had 
expected at least MSVC++ 6 and 7.1 to work, since I tested both of 
those. It's not in as bad shape as it looks, though, since almost all of 
the errors are the same:

    Cannot open include file: 'boost/thread/detail/config.hpp':
    No such file or directory

This file is in CVS, and has been included in some files for quite a 
long time; the change I made was to include it in all files. Apparently 
I'm missing something, but I don't understand why the file isn't being 
found.
