Once again: VC 8.0 behaves _exactly_ like VC 7.1! (therefore, test 0 
succeeds and test 1 fails)

Thus, as BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS is defined in visualc.hpp for 
this compiler...

#if _MSC_VER <= 1310
#  define BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS
#endif

...there should be the same define for VC 8.

Whether this is too strict or not and whether there should be a "weaker" 
macro (just for friends in other namespaces) is a completely different 
discussion and the outcome is equally valid for both VC 7.1 and VC 8!
