Hi, I'm attempting to get the Boost CRC to compile for a TI C6713 DSP.  I'm 
using C6000 Code Gen Tools 6.1.6 which is based on EDG.  STL implementation is 
from Dinkumware.

When I include <boost/crc.hpp> I get the following errors:
"C:/Program Files/boost_1_37_0/boost/crc.hpp", line 286: error: shift count is 
too large
          detected during instantiation of 
class "boost::detail::high_uint_t<Bits> [with Bits=64U]" at line 433
"C:/Program Files/boost_1_37_0/boost/crc.hpp", line 288: error: shift count is 
too large
          detected during instantiation of 
class "boost::detail::high_uint_t<Bits> [with Bits=64U]" at line 433

I'm new to Boost so I could use some help figuring this out.  I looked at 
crc.hpp and high_uint_t appears to be a structure containing two uint_t types 
corresponding with the errors.  In integer.hpp the uint_t struct does not 
evaluate long long.  On this architecture a long is 48 bits and long long is 64 
bits.

I've only included the header so why is it trying to instantiate a 64 bit type?

Thanks,
Mike
