[boost] [config] BOOST_USE_FACET bug

Taken verbatim from the main dynamic_bitset header (actually the
pragma message is only in my own copy, you won't see it in the cvs
;-)):

#if defined (_STLP_OWN_IOSTREAMS) && !defined(__SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS)
&& \
    defined(__STL_USE_NAMESPACES) &&  defined(BOOST_NO_USING_TEMPLATE)
&& !defined(__BORLANDC__)
  //  This is a local workaround for what I think is a bug
  //  in boost/config/stdlib/stlport.hpp: with MSVC+STLport
  //  the macro BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE gets erroneously defined
  //  (due to a spurious check of __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS);
  //  this causes the subsequent code in suffix.hpp to fail
  //  to provide a definition for BOOST_USE_FACET.
  //
# define LOCAL_FACET_CONFIG_BUG
#include <locale>

# define LOCAL_BOOST_USE_FACET(Type, loc) std::use_facet< Type >(loc)
# pragma message (" *** Remind to John *** ")
#else
# define LOCAL_BOOST_USE_FACET(Type, loc) BOOST_USE_FACET(Type, loc)
#endif

As the local workaround shows

  std::use_facet< Type >(loc)

is fully usable.

Genny.
