Once again: VC 8.0 behaves _exactly_ like VC 7.1! (therefore, test 0
succeeds and test 1 fails)
Thus, as BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS is defined in visualc.hpp for
this compiler...
#if _MSC_VER <= 1310
# define BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS
#endif
...there should be the same define for VC 8.
Whether this is too strict or not and whether there should be a "weaker"
macro (just for friends in other namespaces) is a completely different
discussion and the outcome is equally valid for both VC 7.1 and VC 8!
