[boost] Problem in proto library

Hi
The addition of macro BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS_USING_ASSIGN in literal.hpp broke compilation with /clr option in MSVC. The problem is that the macro is used as BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS_USING_ASSIGN(literal) and literal is a variable modifier for managed C++.

Adding a private typedef:
typedef literal<T, Domain> literal_t;

and replacing the macro parameter with:
BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS_USING_ASSIGN(literal_t)

solves the problem for us. Tested with VS2008.
Please note that this problem prevents compilation of xpressive and any other library that uses proto with /clr.

Thank you for boost and particularly for proto and xpressive :-)

Best regards
Jorge
