Seems that commenting out

//# include <boost/python/docstring_options.hpp>

from boost/python.hpp

seem to get it done.

Is there a reason not to make this change in cvs??

Kind of in a bind, in that the project on which am I trying to assist -
i.e vpython ( www.vpython.org ) - is bitten by the issue described at

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c++/10728/focus=10728

and the cvs is impacted by the issue described above.

So that a VC++ build doesn't seem possible straight-up with either
1.33.1 or cvs.

Which makes a Windows source distro for VPython icky.
