 Attempts to build 32-bits target libraries/dll of Boost.Python with MSVC
 running under Windows 7 x64 ends with errors. The 6 *.lib & *.dll of the
 form boost_python-vc*-mt* are not built.

 No problems is experienced if MSVC is running under 32-bits version of
 Windows (XP Pro SP3 & 7 Ultimate tested), or the target is 64-bits
 libraries even when running under Win7 x64.

 The below errors was produced with Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Visual Studio
 (2008 Pro & 2010 Ultimate tested), and ActiveState ActivePython (2.6 & 2.7
 tested).
