My tryout of config_03.zip

It's at <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/config/config_03.zip>.

1.  You misspelled the name of one of the compiler companies.  It's
"Metrowerks".

2.  You forgot to #include the header where std::strcmp comes from in
"config_info.cpp".  (When you fix it, be careful about compilers that don't
put strcmp into std.)

3.  I had to comment out the "template" qualifiers that my compiler can't
accept, but I had another problem with the standard allocator test.
Conversion is allowed through the cross-version constructor, but not through
assignment.  I had to comment out the "a3 = a2;" line in
"boost_no_std_allocator.cxx".  Shouldn't the assignment work because it'll
use the (working) cross-version constructor?  Maybe a Metrowerks guru on
this list could figure it out.

4.  This is what I got when I ran the "config_info" program:

//=========================================================================
Metroworks codewarrior 0x2301
    __cplusplus                   =199711L
    __STDC__                      =1
    __MWERKS__                    =0x2301

5.  I'm wondering: should we have separate configs for Mac OS and Mac OS X,
or should they be in the same file?  How do we differentiate them?
(Marketing-wise, the latter is an update of the former.  Technical-wise, the
latter is a completely different system with a lot of touch-ups to make it
look like and work with the former.)
