[boost] mpl size::type varies across compilers

Aleksey and all,

mpl::size<Sequence> returns integral_c<long,..> on gcc, vc7.1 but 
integral_c<int,..> on bcc564.

Is this intentional?

I am writing specialisations of classes instantiated with the result of 
mpl::size.  The
above difference in types means that the specialisations have to be 
different for bcc.

If this is unavoidable could we have (or does it already exits?) a typedef 
for the the
fundamental integer type used in the returned integral type constant?
