Problem with array.hpp and MSVC/Dinkumware

Hi,

MSVC6/Dinkumware supports conforming reverse_iterator even though MSVC6
does not support partial specialisation. Hence I believe lines 53-60 of
boost/array.hpp should be changed from:

#if !defined(BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION) &&
!defined(BOOST_MSVC_STD_ITERATOR)
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<iterator> reverse_iterator;
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>
const_reverse_iterator;
#else
        // workaround for broken reverse_iterator implementations
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<iterator,T> reverse_iterator;
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator,T>
const_reverse_iterator;
#endif

to 

#if !defined(BOOST_MSVC_STD_ITERATOR)
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<iterator> reverse_iterator;
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>
const_reverse_iterator;
#else
        // workaround for broken reverse_iterator implementations
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<iterator,T> reverse_iterator;
        typedef std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator,T>
const_reverse_iterator;
#endif
