Tuple compatibility with VS.Net

I downloaded boost 1.30.0 but am having trouble with the Tuple 
library with Visial Studio.Net. The following code produces the 
errors:

#include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp>

boost::tuple<int, int> f()
{
    return boost::tuple<int, int>(1, 1);
}

c:\cpp\boost_1_30_0
\boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp(411) : error 
C2039: 'map_tuple_to_cons' : is not a member of 'boost::detail'

This code is:
    class tuple : 
        public detail::map_tuple_to_cons<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, 
T8, T9, T10>::cons1

This appears to be a compiler bug. The code at this line is in the 
boost::tuples namespace but the compiler seems to be ignoring 
boost::tuples::detail. I replaced detail with tuples::detail in many 
places in this code.

Next error:

c:\cpp\boost_1_30_0
\boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp(456) : error 
C2629: unexpected 'boost::tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,T9,T10> ('

This code is:
    template<typename Head, typename Tail>
    explicit tuple(const cons<Head, Tail>& other) : 
        cons1(other.head, other.tail)
    {
    }

Visual C++ doesn't seem to understand template constructors. I 
replaced the template constructor with a copy constructor. VC++ 
failed to create the default copy constructor :(

c:\cpp\boost_1_30_0
\boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp(470) : error 
C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '<'

The code is:
  template<typename Head, typename Tail>
  self_type& operator=(const cons<Head, Tail>& other)

Lookup failed on cons. I added tuples:: prefix.

Has anyone else run into these or might I have a configuration 
problem?

Thanks!
