[boost] [random] Compilation errors in linear_congruential.hpp because of min()/max()

Hi,

I'm getting compilations errors against Boost trunk from inside
linear_congruential.hpp:+89 on VS2010 because of min()/max() being used
without safeguarding them against accidental macro substitution:

    assert(_x >= min());
    assert(_x <= max());

if I replace this with

    assert(_x >= (min)());
    assert(_x <= (max)());

the compiler errors go away.

Regards Hartmut
