+              Visual C++ 7.1's SFINAE implementation can't deal with multiple
+			  assignment functions with the same parameters (but disabled with
+			  SFINAE). So path's assignment from boost::filesystem2::path is
+			  disabled. Would be pretty easy to workaround, but probably not
+			  worth it since this is pretty obscure, and filesystem2 will be
+			  removed soon.
