        Thanks for the input.

                I have applied the changes you suggest. Please note that due to some
unfortunate circumstances beyond our control, the quaternion, octonion
and special functions libraries which shipped with Boost 1.29.0 were not
in the state they were meant to be in. You might want to download new
versions of these libraries from the CVS in a couple of days (while I am
at it, I'll try to move up to the new test system).

        Merci
