[Boost-users] [mpl] minimizing template nesting depth

I've got some code that makes heavy use of mpl.  I developed and 
successfully testid it with msvc8.0 .

Then I #included it in a WinForms app (meaning that the compiler is now 
running with one of the /clr options).  The compiler stops with an error 
explaining that it has "run out of stack space".
This could be simply a difference in compiler implementations, but I thought 
I remembered that mpl was implemented with some builtin recursion unrolling 
classes to mitigate deeply recursive typedef issues.  If so, it occurred to 
me that maybe the macros mpl is depending on to trigger the level of 
recursion unrolling aren't supplied when msvc is compiling for CLI.  I've 
perused the code a bit to try to find where it is setting such a thing, but 
haven't been successful.  So I thought I'd post here in hopes of a quick 
answer.

Does mpl implement such a thing?  And if so, where is it?  I'd like to see 
if it isn't getting used for cli compilation.

Thanks!
