Re: [boost] regression - failed tests for date_time and regex in vc7.1 toolkit

I don't "empty" the library directory before each regression run (perhaps I 
should?? maybe that's why I have 812 files in there) so I went and checked 
and the last time I have files with the vc71 (or vc80 for that matter) in 
them was on the 11th at approximately 2000PDT.
Isn't this the same time Rene fixed the problem of copying two different 
files over the same one in the build process?
