[boost] [string algorithms] Failing on HEAD for all platforms

string algorithms is currently failing all tests on all platforms on
CVS HEAD.

AFAICT, the problem is that the string algo tests call the range
library begin/end functions with raw character pointers, I guess
looking for this to turn into a range by use of strlen or similar.

The range library flags a compile failure trying to form
C::const_iterator where C -> char *.

I also see the range library has appropriate overloads for fixed-length
arrays, and does not handle arrays of unknown size.

I don't know if these fails are due to changes in the range library or
string algorithms, so I'm not sure what to suggest as a patch yet.

Any comments from the library authors appreciated (even if it is simply
pointing to a previous discussion I have missed)
