Dear members of the CMT,

I am one of the members of the developing team of the Boost.Geometry 
library (the newest member).

Since April this year I have submitted a pull request (see below) for 
the Boost.Typeof library. The PR is related to errors appearing in the 
Boost.Geometry regression matrix when using the boost test framework 
(included, not compiled version) with the Boost.Typeof library on MSVC-8.0.

The PR is still there. It is not my role to make any comment regarding 
the status of the Typeof library, and this is not what I am doing. I am 
kindly asking the CMT to take action and help resolve this issue so that 
our regression matrix can get a bit more green. In any case this is to 
the benefit of both libraries (Geometry and Typeof) and Boost as a 
whole, especially given the fact that we are close to the next Boost 
release.

My best regards,

- m.

P.S.
1. The PR is with respect to the Typeof develop branch. From what I saw 
today it has not yet been merged with Typeof master. Please let me know 
if I need to create another pull request based on Typeof's master branch 
instead.

2. All our reported unresolved errors in develop are related to this PR. 
I just thought you might wanted to know that.
