        Hi

                I have just uploaded an updated version at

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/spefquatocto_sc2.tgz

                The functionnality is identical (save for bug fixes and 
efficiency improvements...), and existing interface has been preserved.

                There are two main differences with the first version:

1) "special_functions.hpp" now simply includes the content of the files 
in the (new) folder "special_functions". Thus each function (which may 
come in various flavours) has its own header, for greater modularity if 
wished.

2) The quaternions and octonions now use rather heavilly the ideas put 
forward by the discution on CPP metaprograming (without inducing any 
new dependency). As this might stress a compiler ressource which may 
not have been muuch solicited before, I would like to know if it does 
not break the test on the platforms where it worked with the first 
submission candidate. The benefits of this change is smaller file size, 
and muuch easier comparison between the unspecialized template and the 
provided specializations (it also enabled me to spot a couple of bugs).

                Please note that the documentation has *NOT* been updated 
yet, but will be in an ulterior release (in particular for the 
acknowledgement of suggestions made thus far in the review process).

        Thanks

                        Hubert Holin
