I'm aware, that this is precisely what needs to be done. However I'm not yet
100% convinced if if should go to string_algo lib.
Yet, I'm starting to think in favor of it.

Vc70 support was temporary dropped because I have switched from internal "Range"
version to the official one. But there is already a work in progress to make
Boost.Range working with vc70. So vc70 will be supported in the upcomming release.
