[Boost-testing] vc6/7 for 1.34?

Is anyone planning to start running tests on these compilers?  If not
we will have effectively dropped support for them for 1.34.  Since I
am opposed to dropping support without giving one release worth of
warning, I am prepared to start running the tests if necessary.  I'd
like to have the remove_xxx function hacks put in if possible,
*before* support gets dropped.  Maybe, to cover people that have to
target oddball embedded processors running WinCE and can't pay to have
G++ customized, we ought to get the vc6-supporting parts of Boost
running as well as possible before we drop support.  That would imply
one more release cycle to take advantage of remove_xxx working before
that happens.
