[boost] [static_assert] Patch for SGI MIPSpro C++

Dear Boosters,

For SGI MIPSpro C++ compiler, I need the attached small patch to
boost/static_assert.hpp in order to compile with boost, since in some
situation the compiler does not accept boolian expressions for the
template parameter.  E.g.

cc-1070 CC: ERROR File = /home/i004/i00400/src/boost/boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp, Line = 49
  The indicated type is incomplete.

      BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(!std::numeric_limits<RealType>::is_integer);
      ^

Could someone apply this patch?

Best regards,
