[boost] [serialization][msvc-7.0] permission to mark as expected failure

Hello,

test_reset_object_address and test_reset_object_address_dll are failing
in MSVC 7.0 with a compiler limit problem:

The cause of the problem has little to do with the functionality being
tested --the compiler simply chokes on too much complex code. The
usual workaround consists in splitting the source code in several
smaller
translation units, but this is probably not worth the effort here given
the relative obsolescence of the offending compiler.

So, any objection to my marking these two as expected failures, with
an associated note explaining the situation?

Thank you,
