boost:format Problems.

Hi !

Today my company switched over to MSVC 1310 ( Visual Studio .NET 2003 )
We make heavy use of some boost libraries.
And now we have a real showstopper, boost::format does nto compile
anymore without errors. Are there any fixes for that ?
we use boost_1_30_0 built using the VC7 toolset ( from MSVC 7.1 )

Here is the code passage that causes errors ( but many others do the same )

// Generate a unique dummy name.
boost::format uniqueName("Unknown%1%");
int idNumber = sNames.size() + sIdCounter; // Just an integer.
uniqueName % idNumber;

Here are the compiler errors:
