   Thanks for the bug report and the patch.

   I corrected the bug but removed the whole vector.indices rule all 
together. Seems to me like it never got used except in that vector.equal 
rule and that as its implementation is a one liner and it does not 
correspond to any standard C++ container interface function that it 
would be better to inline it.

   If anyone finds he needs the vector.indices rule - just holler. It 
should be easy enough to add it back but I checked to make sure that no 
boost Jamfiles or Boost Build code uses it.

   vector.equal() now works correctly and a test has been added to that 
effect.

   Thanks again!
