Hello,

According to the maintenance plan of Boost.Test, the lib
officially drops support for vc6.5/7.0 except that regressions
showing up in the Boost libs regression tests page which are
due to changes in Boost.Test will be taken care of.

Well, the latter case has recently arisen, see for instance

(there are a lot more, this is just an example.) These can be
remedied (confirmed locally) by reverting to prior versions
of the following files of Boost.Test which included explicit
worakrounds for MSVC:

class_properties.hpp --> v1.8
unit_test_suite.ipp --> v1.11
callback.hpp --> v1.5

Any chance of this being applied? I can do it myself if Gennadiy
doesn't mind.
