I've had this problem with 1.47 and 1.46 too with Clang on OS X and had to 
resort to manually renaming nil to nil_ in Fusion sources. I was hoping this was 
already fixed and that 1.48 will finally be fixed. AFAIK nil and Nil are 
Objective-C keywords and should not therefore be used in Boost code...
