Subject: [boost] [thread_safe_signals] changing the namespace used

Hello,
In trying to use thread_safe_signals with Dataflow.Signals, I did the
following before including the headers to cause thread_safe_signals to
use the boost::signals namespace instead of boost::signalslib (I
needed this because Dataflow.Signals adds to the boost::signals
namespace):
#define signalslib signals
#define signals signals
The first line was to change the namespace used, and the second to
prevent thread_safe_signals from aliasing boost::signals to itself.
This worked for gcc on OS X, but I just found out that msvc 2005
express chokes on it (in some preprocessing file iteration loop). Is
there a better solution for this?
Thanks,
Stjepan
