[Boost-users] crc.hpp with g++ 3.4.2

including boost/crc.hpp when compiling with g++ 3.4.2 yields the following
compiler error:

/users/kjh/src/toolkits/boost/crc.hpp:464: error: ISO C++ forbids
variable-size array `table_type'

And the code in question is

#if defined(__BORLANDC__) && defined(_M_IX86) && (__BORLANDC__ == 0x560)
        // for some reason Borland's command line compiler (version 0x560)
        // chokes over this unless we do the calculation for it:
        typedef value_type                   table_type[ 0x100 ];
#else
        typedef value_type                   table_type[ byte_combos ];
#endif

Apparantly some version of g++ need to be included in the #if test as well.
Pretty trivial to do but I thought I'd post here so the maintainers of the
crc library can get it officially fixed.
