[C++-sig] Slice tests failing on MSVC 7.1, 8.0

[Jonathan Brandmeyer]

According to the automated regression testers here:
http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/developer/python_.html

The slice test is failing on MSVC 7.1 and 8.0.  First off, do you expect
them to pass on these compilers?

If so, the problem is that C++ functions that take a
boost::python::slice argument raise a Boost.Python.AgumentError when
called with a Python-created slice.

The errors in the log take the form:
ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    slice_ext.check_slice_get_indicies(slice)
did not match C++ signature:
    check_slice_get_indicies(class boost::python::slice)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
