All the versions of VC++ fail the lexical_cast_loopback_test. It is a
known for years issue and there is some work to resolve this bug, but
the bugfix will not be ready soon (I hope to resolve this in version
1.48 or 1.49). If it is required, I can add <toolset
name="msvc-10.0*"/> to <mark-failure> section of <test
name="lexical_cast_loopback_test"> with some comment. But do we need
this cosmetic patch in version 1.47?
