Hi Robert,

The problem seems to be related with the one I
ran into with my lib, as described in 

http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg68369.php

Looks like VC 8.0 does not handle member *qualified* template
friends.
The solution I applied is to simply extend the
defect macro BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS to VC 8.0
(by using a local version of the macro, namely
BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS), until
this issue is officially resolved in Boost.Config.
Looking at your code, I'd say you can do exactly
the same to get rid of the problem.
