Hi,
Some of the tests for Boost.LexicalCast fail on any MSVC compiler.
Unfortunately currently I have no access to Windows.
Could someone please investigate the failures and tell me were to search
the bug?
From where are the lexical_cast tests run in modular-boost ?
boost/libs/conversion/test/
I assume this is in the develop branch tests. Running the tests on my 
machine, with msvc-12.0 I see two failures.

First is:

lexical_cast_loopback_test.cpp(55): error in 
"test_round_conversion_double": check min_ == lexical_cast<T>(min_s) failed
lexical_cast_loopback_test.cpp(55): error in 
"test_round_conversion_long_double": check min_ == 
lexical_cast<T>(min_s) failed

This looks like the roundtrip conversion with double and long double is 
not accurate enough.

Second is:

lexical_cast_containers_test.cpp
C:\Programming\VersionControl\modular-boost\boost/intrusive/detail/has_member_function_callable_with.hpp(200) 
: error C2228: left of '.select_on_container_copy_construction' must

It looks like 'boost::move_detail::declval<F>()' is not resolving to 
anything but I will let you figure this out.

One thing I noticed. The tester must run 'b2 headers' after getting the 
conversion 'develop' branch and before running the tests. This is 
because of the hard link issue I have brought up a number of times on 
this mailing list.
