I'm stuck with a basic problem with BOOST_BITFIELD, again using BCB6 and  
compiling enum.cpp included with the library.

The lines:
   MouseKey A, B;
   A |= B;
fail to compile with 'bitfield_base<MouseKey>::m_value is not accessible'  
in operator |= in bitfield.hpp.

Not sure what's intended here.  It would seem that if the following  
function is being instantiated:
void bitfield_base<MouseKey>::operator |= (const MouseKey& rhs)
{
   m_value |= rhs.m_value;
}
then m_value is not accessible since it's private to bitfield_base.  If  
rhs were of type bitfield_base then it would work.

Changing bitfield_base as follows:
void operator |= (const bitfield_base<T>& rhs)
{
   m_value |= rhs.m_value;
}

works for me.
