Paul,

I've included a workaround for the mingw lack of <limits> in
rational_example.cpp, but mingw still breaks with

    boost\rational.hpp: In function `class boost::rational<int>
    boost::abs<int>(const boost::rational<int> &)':
    rational_example.cpp:65:   instantiated from here
    boost\rational.hpp:311: no matching function for call to `abs (int)'

gcc has a problem with using declarations at function scope: it just
ignores them!  Put the using declaration at namespace scope (for gcc only)
and it should work.
