FYI, Thorsten checked in a test case (range/adl_conformance) to check 
ADL conformance on various compilers before he left for vacation.

It's not that this testcase tells us much about the range library, but 
the results are nevertheless interesting and show that some compilers 
still have their difficulties! Among these are the (current) Microsoft 
compiler(s), but also Intel: once again the tests pass on Windows and 
fail on Linux (one should mean they have different front ends)!

If there really is an intention to extend the use of ADL in the boost 
library, one perhaps should ask Microsoft to fix the issues in VC 8.
