 VC++6 has a little problem with std::exit (compiler can not find this
 function).
 It is possible to fix this bug by replacing [[BR]]
 {{{
 #if defined(UNDER_CE)
     // The Windows CE CRT library does not have std::abort() so use
 exit(-1) instead.
     std::exit(-1);
 #else
 }}}
 [[BR]]
 (line 104 of boost/assert.hpp) with
 {{{
 #if defined(UNDER_CE) || BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC,<1300)
     // The Windows CE CRT library and VC++6 does not have std::abort() so
 use exit(-1) instead.
     using namespace std;
     exit(-1);
 #else
 }}}

 But I`m not sure about portability of this bugfix.
