Actualy you are right. It is a known issue. Boost.Range was integrated after the 
String Algorithms and I was not able to change the StringAlgo lib to use
Boost.Range before the release.

So there is an overlap there. 

What could you do is to not use Boost.Range version of iterator_range. Instead
of including boost/range.hpp include only headers that contains stuff you need
and use the iterator_range from StringAlgo.

I'm working on sollution and hopefully it will be in the cvs soon after the christmas.
