[BGL] using Borland C++Builder 5

Hi, 

I had a problem compiling both the test file 
(libs/graph/test/graph.cpp) and the first example 
(libs/graph/example/file_dependencies.cpp) of the BGL and traced 
the problem to the support for tuples. 

The offending line is line 40 of boost/tuple/tuple.hpp which 
incorporates tuples::get into the boost namespace. 

Commenting out this line allows the files above to compile and run 
OK. Leaving it in invokes an internal compiler error. 

The test file for tuples works OK with Builder 5 and so I guess 
there's a dependency somewhere. 

The question is - if I comment out this line am I going to get hit
with problems elsewhere in the BGL? I'm new to the BGL and don't 
know whether the whole thing is built on the abilities of tuples. 

[Using boost_1_28_0, BCC5 sp1, Win2000 sp2]

Thanks for any thoughts.
