Comment (by anonymous):

 Hi there.  Here where I'm sitting, version 6 archives have only one byte
 of version information, which means we should handle it the same way as
 version <6.  That's what this patch does.  I tested this with boost 1.46
 and it fixes the issue that I'm seeing (archive produced by boost 1.41
 being read by boost 1.46-consumer).

 I'm not sure if one of the interim versions of boost happened to have two-
 byte version-6 archives.  If yes, then handling version 6 should be merged
 with version 7.  If not, then it can be merged with handling version <6 as
 the patch does.  In any case, separate branch for version 6 doesn't seem
 to be necessary.
