I'm running on the Mac OS (version 9.0.4).  The length limit is 31
characters.  There is no separate extension field so the ".hpp" will take up
4 characters, leaving 27 characters for the main part of the name.

I'm not using the file; I just look at every Boost release for these kinds
of problems.  I noticed that there were several short *fwd headers in that
directory, one for each regular header.  Maybe you could compact that into a
single *fwd header.  The standard C++ I/O system does this, using one
forwarding file, <iosfwd>, for (around) a dozen regular headers.
