[boost] is_convertible and vc7.1 final beta

Apparently, vc7.1 final beta fails to handle is_convertible properly
under some circumstances.  I tried searching a little bit for
workarounds and came up empty.  If anyone else would like to try,
comment out the line which says

#  define BOOST_NO_IS_CONVERTIBLE // "is_convertible doesn't work"

in $BOOST_SANDBOX/boost/iterator/iterator_adaptors.hpp, go to
$BOOST_SANDBOX/boost/libs/iterator/test, and do:

   bjam -sBOOST=<path-to-boost-root> indirect_iterator_test
