The message says it's for a detail-level file in the Pool library, not part of the
Integer library.  That file, <boost/pool/detail/ct_gcd_lcm.hpp>, should be
maintained by Stephen Cleary.
Not to be completely worthless to you, I looked at the file.  The class in
question should be blocked to compilers without partial specialization of
class templates.  I thought MSVC-6 was one of those compilers.  If not,
maybe the user's configuration is messed up.

Since it has been 3 years, and I still have no way of fixing it, I asked about this issue on the Boost
mailing list.  John Maddock suggested:
Given that the issue was filed in 2002, and since the Pool lib is currently passing it's regression test
with VC6, I suggest you close it down as either "works for me" or "won't fix".
And that's what I'll do, except I'll use "out of date" as the reason.
