It's a particularly tough C++ compilation issue, I could use some help 
if anyone is familiar with C++ template meta-programming (Boost MPL). 
K-3D ships its own version of the Boost GIL library (Image library). 
It's fairly straightforward to patch the source to use the Boost GIL 
library we ship with F-11, but unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem.

Looking at the g++ changelog from 4.3 to 4.4, I don't see anything that 
could explain this problem (code compiles fine with 4.3).
