Done.

The std::abs() required a trick, because without it is considered as C 
abs (taking an integer). I consulted #boost at IRC on it and they 
proposed the solution which is now there. The library calls 
geometry::math::abs() internally. That function calls "using std::abs" 
to get the right abs, and at the same time enable ADL.
