[boost] [serialization] problem when including shared_ptr_132.hpp (and a simple workaround)

It seems that the "using namespace ." statements in this and
shared_count_132.hpp trigger a problem in VC8 + SP1.

Try the following small program:

#include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr_132.hpp>
#include <boost/cstdint.hpp>

typedef unsigned short uint16_t;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    uint16_t u;
        return 0;
}

Will result in this error:

error C2872: 'uint16_t' : ambiguous symbol

It seems that the workaround implemented for Borland applies to VC8 too:

#if !BOOST_WORKAROUND( __BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT( 0x560) ) 
using namespace boost;
#endif
