We are using the xlC compiler for v6, and I had to make one change in the
boost_1_33_1 version of config/compiler/vacpp.hpp.

I was getting the classic error message from the xlC linker caused by
undefined class-level static variables:
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: boost::details::pool::ct_lcm<8,8>::value

I ended up setting the configuration switch
BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION for v6.0, and am now getting a clean
build on AIX.

Hope this helps,
