The Sun compiler has many issues with compiling BGL; the regression tests 
show many failures.  In particular, bundled properties are problematic. 
I believe the issue was partial specialization on pointer-to-member types, 
but I am not sure about that.  The code should work if you use old-style 
properties; look at the documentation, book, or other examples and test 
cases for that style.
