One of them, max_digits10, represents how many digits are needed to be printed to (near) guarantee text/binary conversion. Boost.Test uses it in its C++11 code, so it expects any version of numeric_limits to have it, which caused errors with Boost.Rational since that part of the test code hasn't been touched since it was written nearly 7 years ago! (There was a minor tweak over 5 years ago.)

Trunk is looking good, but for some reason my runner (BP x86_64 C++11)
doesn't have that problem for gcc-4.8.1 on release, but it does have it
for clang 3.2 and 3.3, any ideas?
