The most common way to deal with ETI is to add a correspondingly guarded
'int' specialization for the template where the error occurs. In our case,
it would be something along these lines, in "mpl/aux_/clear_impl.hpp":
#if defined(BOOST_MPL_MSVC_60_ETI_BUG)
template<>
struct clear_traits<int>
{
template< typename Sequence > struct algorithm
{
typedef int type;
};
};
#endif

With the above fix (already in the main trunk), the ETI error goes away, but
looks like you will need a little bit more tweaking in other areas to make
the whole test compile.
HTH,
