Re: [boost] Bug in numeric_cast<> ??

I just checked in a fix for numeric_cast, which you can pick up from the CVS
repository at www.sourceforge.net. I tested it by hand with CWPro6.

Beman: I tried the regression tests. For some reason the tests can't find
the metrowerks compiler as a command-line tool, despite my having integrated
a call to cwenv.bat into regr.bat. Also, despite the fact that the tests
seem to compile with MSVC without errors (see the log below), the html page
comes up with "no" in both MSVC slots
