[boost] [test] basic_cstring_test errors

basic_cstring_test currently fails to compile on the latest pre-release 
version of HP's cxx compiler.

The following sample illustrates the problem:

template <typename T>
static void foo(T * t) { }

template <typename T>
void func() { foo((T *) 0); } // (*)

int main() {
   func<int>();
   return 0;
}

The call to foo at (*) doesn't find the declaration for foo because 
dependent name lookup for functions referred by an unqualified id only 
finds functions with external linkage. (See 14.6.4.2)

A possible fix is to remove the static from the declaration of foo. Applied 
to basic_cstring_test, this would mean to remove the static from the 
declaration of test_string().
