[Boost-users] BGL + VC7: no bundled properties because of BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION

Hello,

Failing to do it by myself, I ask for the group's help to fully 
understand why I can't use BGL's bundled properties with MS VC7.
I traced the impediment to the fact that in the configuration header 
"visualc.hpp" the constant BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION is 
#defined. This, further on (properties.hpp), causes the 
BOOST_GRAPH_NO_BUNDLED_PROPERTIES to be #defined.

My question is, what is in this context understood by "template partial 
specialization" ? I ask, because I'm almost sure I've used this feature 
in VC7 before, hence my confusion.

Many thanks in advance...

Dan
