[boost] [multi_array][vc-6_5/7_0] compiler problem with dependent typename

MSVC 6.5 and 7.0 have a hard time with line 391 of
boost/multi_array.hpp, which involves a dependent typename
keyword:

      ranges.ranges_[i] = typename gen_type::range(0,extents[i]);

(See for instance http://tinyurl.com/pjxxl .) The attached patch fixes
the problem (confirmed in MSVC 6.5, only an educated guess
for MSVC 7.0.) Any objection to this being commited to the
trunk and RC_1_34_0?

Thank you,
