VC++ 7.0 only supports the "portable" syntax, and as such the
boost::function class template doesn't exist for it. You'll need to use,
e.g., boost::function2<void, int, int> instead of
boost::function<void (int, int)>. There is a table at the beginning of the
Function tutorial that gives the list of compilers known to support the
preferred syntax.
