[boost] [assign][range][ptr_container] using-induced problem

Martin Wille posted about this a couple of days ago
(http://lists.boost.org/boost-testing/2005/05/1216.php), but I'm afraid
it could have passed unnoticed.

Some tests from Boost.(Assign|Range|PointerContainer) have
the following layout

#include<...>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

...

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

having the using directives before boost/test/unit_test.hpp is AFAICS
illegal
and does indeed cause problems with GCC 3.4.x and GCC 4.x, see
for instance http://tinyurl.com/8payc

I cannot test it, but I guess it suffices to move all the includes
before
any using directive. This will probably clear up dozens of tests,
including
some toolsets that are currently marked as unusable.
