I'm looking for binary (value_type = unsigned char) input and output
iterators for files.  This is as opposed to a character base iterator
(which rules out ostream_iterator<>).

I don't need anything fancy (in fact, I'm just copying whole files to
and from archives).  I know that Sprit has an input iterator which is
a forward iterator, and I could use that.

I've already started to write them with Boost.Iterator; but this seems
like something you should expect to find somewhere in boost already.
