Most  of the failures if not all are due to the includion of common_type.hpp.

As Boost.Typeof is Ok with this compiler we can not say yet that the problem is with Boost.Typeof.
Surprisingly the same compiler in trunk works "daw-msvc71Â  rev 66640Â  Fri, 19 02:00:37 +0000i msvc- 7.1"

daw-msvc71Â  rev 66641 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 09:00:32 +0000i fails on release.
