[boost] Problem with multi_array on some compilers

The following patch seems to be needed to help KCC and the Cray C++ 
compiler (and maybe other compilers based on older EDG frontends) to 
find the type index:

diff -u -r1.3 index_gen.hpp
--- index_gen.hpp       14 Jul 2002 17:02:30 -0000      1.3
+++ index_gen.hpp       8 Apr 2003 14:32:02 -0000

  private:
-  typedef index Index;
+  typedef ::boost::detail::multi_array::index Index;
    typedef std::size_t SizeType;
    typedef index_range<Index,SizeType> range;
  public:

Could such a patch (maybe qualified for __EDG_VERSION__ < 246 ) be 
applied to boost/multi_array/index_gen.hpp

Thanks in advance,

Matthias
