 All the tr1 random tests fail to compile
 {{{
 error C2248: 'boost::random::discard_block<URNG,p,r>::result_type' :
 cannot access private typedef declared in class
 'boost::random::discard_block<URNG,p,r>'
 ..\boost/random/discard_block.hpp(199) : see declaration of
 'boost::random::discard_block<URNG,p,r>::result_type'
 }}}

 Doesn't seem like a compiler error: the typedef really is private in
 discard_block.hpp line 199.

 The base class, discard_block_engine, has the typedef public, so it seems
 that discard_block should follow suit.

 Affects 4 tests from these two places in the test code:
 ..\libs\tr1\test\test_random.cpp(151)
 ..\libs\tr1\test\run_random.cpp(21)
