#5 Support for boost::multiprecision datatypes

[sunday]

Hello everyone

I am using boost::multiprecision datatypes within blitz++ arrays. In order to do so, I have modified blitz++. I hope it might be possible to incorporate support for boost::multiprecision into blitz++ so others can benefit from multiprecision in blitz++.

I have attached my patch, but it is rather hard coded and is not suitable for the main distribution. The changes would have to be made configurable (in order to still be able to use blitz without multiprecision). My experience with library packaging is not sufficient to supply an appropriate patch. Perhaps someone is willing to do this at some time.
