sdk won't compile with vs2010

The lastest sdk available (2008-11-29) won't compile with CL 16.0, the MS compiler that comes with visual studio 2010.

Bare compiler output:

e:\projects\sdk-2008-11-29_\pfc\primitives.h(90): error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)

This is because the defined class at line 89 - static_assert - in a reserved keyword in the upcoming C++0x standard. This feature has been implemented in VS2010, see MSDN.

Simply renaming the class throughout the SDK projects fixes the problem.

Known, the next update will address this.
