Two of the four regression tests for rational on VC 7.1 fail to link from
the same error.  The other two tests fail from not finding the Boost.Test
library during its link search, so it may be a variant symptom of the same
problem.  Check out Boost.Rational part of the report at
<http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/issues
html>, hopefully for time-stamp "Fri, 6 Jan 2006 22:39:09 +0000".
(Actually, I had an earlier time, but the page updated while I was
double-checking it for writing this message.)
