If you are really interested in this, you can try building the tests with MSVC. Commit any changes you want if you can come up with work-arounds, as long as you don't break GCC or Clang support in the process. If you decide to try this, it may help to follow the instructions for enabling preprocessed headers, which will likely avoid a plethora of preprocessor issues : http://generic.nfshost.com/generic/getting_started.html
I haven't even bothered attempting to build with MSVC, so it will likely not be fun.
Yeah, from what you say it sound like MSVC is not currently supported but it should be possible to support it. I think if we were to release the lib in Boost, we should definitely try hard to support MSVC (but such an effort could even follow the lib Boost review and approval, IMO). Thanks, --Lorenzo
