Hi John,

I have added the new undeterminate_result_error to the framework, used
it in the pow function, and checked into the sandbox. Please could you
tell me if all looks good to you?

In test_error_handling.cpp, I noticed that not every policies were
tested: ignore_error and errno_on_error were missing. I added some
test for them with undeterminate_result_error, do you want me to do
the same for the other types of error? It's pretty straight-forward
now.

I haven't been able to add a test to the last part of
test_policy_2.cpp, where you test different overloads of
make_policy(). I wanted to add the same test as at line 103, it didn't
pass. I reduced the line until I end up with this:

BOOST_CHECK(check_same(
    make_policy(undeterminate_result_error<ignore_error>()),
    policy<undeterminate_result_error<ignore_error> >()
));

But it still doesn't pass. I guess it's a problem with the way in
which I integrated the new error in the normalise class but I'm a bit
confused about what to do exactly...

Also, test_tr1 doesn't pass for me but I guess it's not related to my
modifications...?

Regards
Bruno
