I can build with VS express 2008 and it works fine. My first build crashed almost at once but once I downloaded a prebuilt boost 1.36 for VC9 (http://www.boostpro.com/products/free) and made appropriate additions to the boost cmake file it was fine, save for a spurious complaint about virtual destructors.
I'm happy to help edit the note for new builders if that would be useful.
