[boost] Volunteers needed: clearing the last regressions for 1.34

Folks,

We really should get 1.34 out sometime this month/year/decade/century (take 
your pick)!

We're now down to a small but persistent hard core of regressions at 
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/issues.html

My guess is that the respective library authors are either stuck (no access 
to the compiler concerned: please speak up if so), or else too busy or just 
not paying attention right now :-(

The largest block is for the serialisation lib, at least one of the errors 
appears to be due to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883655 which requires 
splitting the .cpp file into smaller blocks as a workaround.  Robert, any 
ideas about the others?

The mpl failures look like a problem in the test code (can someone with the 
relevant gcc-4.x installed try removing the typecast from the problem 
expression and see if that fixes things).

The iostream and rational lib failures are the subject of other messages.

All the others need volunteers to take a look and either suggest fixes, or 
at least try and diagnose the issue.

Many thanks!

John Maddock.
