MTL on VS2003 (_Ptrit Problems)

Hey everyone,
I've downloaded the mtl-2.1.2-21 version of MTL.  However, I seem to be having the same problem as many others with the _Ptrit
 
light1D.h(87): error C2039: '_Ptrit' : is not a member of 'std'

I even went as far as to apply the contributed zip mtl_fixes_for_msvc7, but that didn't work either.
 
Is anyone out there using VS2003 (7.1.3088) with success?
 
I read in some of the other messages of a CVS server.  Is this public and does it contain the fix for this problem?  I didn't see a link to the CVS server on the website.
 
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
