Not really.  I suggest you restore the code to it's original form. 
It has been compiled and tested with VC6.  The problem is that in 
your vc project preprocessor settings you need to set the DATE_TIME_INLINE 
flag. In project settings-> C/C++ ->Preprocessor and add the DATE_TIME_INLINE 
to the Preprocessor definitions and it should work ok.  This is described
(perhaps a bit cryptically) in the docs:

http://www.boost.org/libs/date_time/doc/BuildInfo.html

It was an unfortunate foul-up on my part that users are required to 
set this in their projects.  In the next release this requirement 
will be removed.

HTH,
