That's bad - it's starting to look like Boost.Python may be broken on
MSVC6 in the 1.31.0 release... I can't imagine it was a conscious
decision to drop support for this compiler, but it could be that the
Windows regression tests don't include Boost.Python [see below].
Maybe Ralf knows more about the situation?
