200	cast.hpp: greater_than_type_max<false, false> int/uint	nobody	david_abrahams	"{{{
Submitted by holger.joukl@lbbw.de
File boost/boost/boost/cast.hpp:
If the greater_than_type_max check method is called in
this specialization:
  greater_than_type_max<false, false>.check(x, y)
with 
  unsigned int x 
and
  int y=INT_MAX,
and x is bigger than INT_MAX, the check fails.

Maybe it could be done this way (but I am C++ newbie,
so I might
overlook the subtleties):
