Hi,

After my very big disappointment when I discovered that Boost.Graph and
Boost.Variant where incompatible[1], now it seems that Boost.Graph and
Boost.Spirit (and more precisely Qi) are incompatible... :(

Minimal test case :

-------- test.cc -----------
#include <boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/include/qi.hpp>
----------------------------

I have g++ 4.4.3 on Linux amd64 and Boost 1.42.0.

Maybe there should be some documentation about such incompatibilities
between boost libraries.
