Hi,

please could you add the following for Boost.Ratio

[*Features:]

* Replace the short_name and long_name functions by symbol and prefix 
functions respectively.

[*Deprecated:]

* The ratio_string<>::short_name and ratio_string<>::long_name are 
deprecated. Use ratio_string<>::symbol and ratio_string<>::prefix 
respectively. These functions be removed in 1.55.

and the following fixes for Boost.Ratio and  Boost.Chrono if I'll be 
able to merge https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/80897 and 
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/80896 as suggested by Eric.

// Ratio
[*Fixes:]

* [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7478 #7478] Compiles fails 
with compilers supporting char16_t and char32_t fails if the library 
doesn't provides std::u16string and std::u32string.

Currently there are no macros BOOST_NO_CXX11_U16STRING and 
BOOST_NO_CXX11_U32STRING signaling that the standard library doesn't 
provides std::u16string or std::u32string. The committed change avoids 
the compile error when Boost.Config will provide these macros. In the 
mean time the user needs to define them explicitly while using 
Boost.Ratio in these conditions.

// Chrono
* [@http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7479 #7479] Compiles fails 
with compilers supporting constexpr fails if the standard library 
doesn't provides the constexpr interface

Thanks,
Vicente
