Hmm, I think there is no need for that since I might fork it and create 
a PR if needed, but ok, we'll see, maybe it'd be useful.

It should compile properly. What do you mean by compiler crashes?

Here everything looks right here (besides MSVC tests broken by 
Boost.Variant):
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/geometry.html

How do the failures look like? Is the problem located in Boost.Geometry?
If the problem was located in Variant, then you could checkout some 
older commit, e.g.:

cd libs/variant
git checkout 6db941f3

And run the Geometry tests again.

Adam
