Lexical_cast tests are broken with:

..\..\../boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_numeric.hpp: In static 
member function 'static bool 
boost::detail::lexical_cast_dynamic_num_ignoring_minus<Target, 
Source>::try_convert(const Source&, Target&)':
..\..\../boost/lexical_cast/detail/converter_numeric.hpp:117:17: error: 
'is_float' is not a member of 'boost'
                  boost::is_float<Source>::value,
                  ^

One of the funcion_types tests fails because of this and running the 
lexical_cast tests fails also.
