Comment (by tsandnes@…):

 I am seeing the same thing on windows 7, mscv100.

 The error is slightly different:

 error C2766: explicit specialization;
 'boost::numeric::numeric_cast_traits<char,uint64_t>' has already been
 defined
 C:\svn\Backend\third_party\win32_vc100\include\boost\numeric\conversion\detail\preprocessed\numeric_cast_traits.hpp
 263

 Changing from
 using::int8_t to typedef signed char int8_t; as in the patch for solaris
 solves the problem here as well.
 Maybe the patch should be modified to change this for windows7/msvc100
 too?
