to be a little more precise, there is (what is now) a logic error in
boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp

lines 23ff:
#ifdef _DEBUG
# ifndef BOOST_DEBUG_PYTHON
#  undef _DEBUG // Don't let Python force the debug library just 
because we're debugging.
#  define DEBUG_UNDEFINED_FROM_WRAP_PYTHON_H
# endif
#endif

appears to include several of the "standard includes for the vc 
runtime libraries" notably crtdefs.h (indirectly).
this header appears to check for inconsistancy in #including files 
with _DEBUG defined and not... the error shows uplater in    use_ansi.h

it appears as if one can mess around with a symbol called:

_CRT_NOFORCE_MANIFEST

in wrap_python.hpp and it will get rid of the error, I have no 
opinion yet whether the resulting code will actually work
