 Microsoft has released a feature pack for VS2008 that also includes an
 implementation of TR1, including features such as:

 Smart pointers

 Regular expression parsing

 New containers (tuple, array, unordered set, etc)

 Sophisticated random number generators

 Polymorphic function wrappers

 Type traits

 (see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0d805d4e-

 2dc2-47c7-8818-a9f59de4cd9b&DisplayLang=en)

 Can we put in the hooks necessary to recognise and use this pack, instead
 of the boost one, while running the boost tests?  Indeed it would be good
 to be able to benchmark one tr1 implemantation against the other!
