Christian,

Thank you so much for helping get this figured out!

Thanks - I'll mention that.  I've been testing with VC Express
8.0.50727 but didn't need that switch.  Or at least I didn't need to
set it explicitly - I did test builds with bjam (the build/vc8ide
folder has a vc8 project that runs bjam for tests and examples), and I
also tried the intro_example in a typical VC8 console project.

Hmm.  These errors are very suspicious.  When you downloaded from the
vault, did you download the latest (0_9_0) version?  If so, something
may have gone wrong when I archived it - I thought I checked but maybe
not enough.  I'll do a clean download of boost and a clean download of
the lib and see what's happening.

If it's the archiving that I messed up, you can also try the version
from the SVN (if you don't feel like you've already wasted enough time
on this :-)):

One of the examples uses the factory class that was submitted for
review recently.  I never got around to checking whether that made it
to the trunk, so I just kept a local copy.

Thanks again for all your help with this!
