Thanks for the report.  It really motivates developers to know people are 
using their libraries.

We've gotten so tired of the lack of limits for some compilers that in the 
next release (due today or tomorrow) there will be a <boost/limits.hpp> 
file.  It will just forward to <limits> on systems that have one, but will 
otherwise supply a (hopefully standards conforming) limits header.
