Boost might be not a real issue: the binaries for VC9 are not
downloadable, but if you use the new bjam 3.1.16
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941)
it compile all boost 1.34.1 libraries despite endless reports about
"unsupported compiler".
I compiled them using the Visual Studio 2008 command line prompt and
the command:
bjam --toolset=msvc-9.0 install
as I did for all previous MSVC compilers

(BTW: downloading and installing Visual Studio 2008 Offline
Installation is a surprisingly pleasant experience: no glitch, SDK
included, etc.)

So I went ahead and I've just committed project/solution files for
VC9, and few tweaks to the autolink.hpp files and everything does
compile but tracing.cpp as reported by Georgy:

\ql/utilities/tracing.hpp(66) : error C2990: 'QuantLib::Singleton' :
non-class template has already been declared as a class template
.\ql/patterns/singleton.hpp(53) : see declaration of 'QuantLib::Singleton'

I don't know how to solve this error, but if someone has a patch we
might easily add VC9 support
