The reason for using typeid instead of sizeof was to remove a limitation of
the number of typeof instances you can have in a single compilation unit
(~1000),
but it should not not restricts the use of BOOST_TYPEOF, so I have reverted
the use of typeid for BOOST_TYPEOF on VC7.1.
It now uses the same sizeof solution as the other VC versions.
