Well I just figured out the problem, I should have found this before I
posted, but at least it can be fixed in the repository now:

Simply add "boost\libs\python\src\object\function_doc_signature.cpp" to the
Visual Studio project. I would also like to suggest at this time that you
upgrade the project to a VS9 project if possible!
