This is an approved src.alt for 447.dealII in CPU2006 v1.1.

It allows users to force the use of the Boost configuration for
MS C++ compilers in the Boost preprocessor config.hpp file.

Without this src.alt and the use of the define flag 
"SPEC_CPU_BOOST_CONFIG_MSC_VER", C++ compilers using newer versions of the 
EDG front end may get syntax errors.  The error occur because changes in EDG 
to support newer versions of BOOST can cause incompabaiblities in older 
versions of BOOST.  EDG recommeneds using the MSC_VER configuration in 
this case.

To apply the src.alt, unpack the tar file in the top level of the CPU2006
directory.  The following sequence of commands should accomplish this:

$ /bin/sh
$ cd <cpu2006 dir>
$ . ./shrc
$ go top
$ specbzip2 -dc <src.alt tarball> | spectar -xvf -

Please replace the items in angle brackets ( <> ) as appropriate.

To have the src.alt applied during compilation, please add the following
stanza to your config file:

447.dealII:
srcalt=boost_msvc_config

This src.alt makes performance neutral portability-related
changes to 447.dealII source files by adding include directives.

Please address any questions about this src.alt to cpu2006support@spec.org.
