#7995: compile error in transform_width.hpp when the min macro is defined

     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.53.0      |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 When trying to compile some code that uses base64_from_binary in VC9 using
 1.53, i got the errors:

 {{{
 boost\archive\iterators\transform_width.hpp(151) : error C2589: '(' :
 illegal token on right side of '::'

 boost\archive\iterators\transform_width.hpp(151) : error C2059: syntax
 error : '::'
 }}}

 Which seems to be down to the 'min' macro being defined.

 Changing line 151 to something like

 {{{
 unsigned int i = (std::min)(missing_bits, m_remaining_bits);
 }}}

 allows it to compile.
