[boost] datetime and long long

Many of the regression tests for the date time library are failing 
currently because the library relies on std::abs<long long> being 
available. AKAIK, the C++ standard doesn't require this so the library 
shouldn't make use of it.

Maybe datetime should specify it's own version of abs like this:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <stdlib.h>

template <typename T> T abs(T i) { return std::abs(i); }
template <> long long abs(long long i) {return ::llabs(i); }
