predicates without default constructor fail to compile

[nobody]

  I want to draw your attention to a possible flaw in the 
implementation of the write_graphviz method from the 
Boost Graph Library.

  The current implementation uses the assignment 
operator for the vertex and edge iterators. This is natural, 
but some examples fail to compile with
this version. The problem comes from the predicates 
witch don't have default constructors. 

  When trying to assign a vertex iterator of a graph 
filtered with such a predicate, the compiler issues an 
error:

C2512:'positive_edge_weight_pred<MyEdgeWeightMap>'
 : no appropriate default constructor available
        with
        [
            MyEdgeWeightMap=EdgeWeightMapT
        ]

  If a small modification in the write_graphviz 
implementation is made (using copy constructors 
instead of assignement operators), the example 
compiles and runs sucesfully. I am using the Microsoft 
Visual C++ 7.1 compiler.

  In conclusion, I think that this modification should be 
made, as it grows the flexibility of the library and doesn't 
add any overhead.

  I have attached the example (main.cpp) and the patch 
for graphviz.hpp (graphviz.hpp.patch).

The submitter forgot to attach the example/patch.  That person made up for 
this by recreating the message as a new tracker with the files attached.  So this 
tracker should be closed as a duplicate of the second one (#1353875).
