The release notes of boost-1.55 explicitly say that VS 2013 is not 
supported. CGAL uses boost too much to work properly when boost doesn't, 
and since the boost project moved to git they seem to have lost the 
ability to release version 1.56 (with support for VS 2013). If you are 
brave you could try to install a development version of boost and see if 
that helps.
