This works perfectly.  Thanks for the tip.

I am actually using boost to help ensure that our tool can first handle 
100% compliant C++ (It amazes me how you guys can manage to keep the 
code at such a high quality level).  To do this I run the regression 
tests without any compiler workarounds enabled.

When a third party uses our tools, they will use our tool in a way that 
emulates their target compiler, and so will be using one of the existing 
configurations.

Thank you for tracking this down for me.

Kind Regards,

Richard
