Well currently BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION is defined for the 
latest version of vacpp (version 6) too so I would suggest just for the 
time being do

#if defined(__IBMCPP__)
// VisualAge compiler can't handle 64 bit enums
static const size_t npos = -1 ;
#else
enum npos_type { npos = (size_type)-1 } ;
#endif

This will make it work on VisualAge too. Agreed ?
