[C++-sig] Build errors with VC6

[Dave Hawkes]

I'm currently getting build errors (clean source from CVS!) with VC6 in a
number of places ie:

h:\projects\boost2\libs\python\src\converter\from_python.cpp(225) : error
C2955: 'type' : use of class template requires template argument list
        h:\projects\boost2\boost\type.hpp(15) : see declaration of 'type'

This appears to be due to the declaration.


BOOST_PYTHON_DECL python::detail::new_reference
pytype_result_from_python(PyTypeObject* type, PyObject* source)

getting the type identifier from.

namespace boost {

  // Just a simple "type envelope". Useful in various contexts, mostly to
work
  // around some MSVC deficiencies.
  template <class T>
  struct type {};

}

Though I don't know why as the namespaces should prevent it.
