Unfortunately this is either a Boost or an MSVC bug depending upon your 
point of view :-(

Boost.Interval depends upon a number of std lib rounding functions to do 
it's work.  One of them is "rint" which MSVC used to supply, but for some 
reason recent releases have simply dropped it, with no suitable replacement. 
If you google for msvc and rint you should find some replacements for that 
function.

HTH, John.
