[boost] Re: [iostreams] 64-bit patch for gzip

Currently the gzip test fails on 64-bit system because of 32/64-bit issues in 'iostreams/filter/gzip.hpp'. Attached patch fixes this, and additionally renames the functions read_byte() to read_uint8() and read_long() to read_uint32() as this is what they actually do.

Thanks!

The patch has been tested on a 32 bit system (Linux/GCC 3.4.2) and on a 64 bit system (Tru64/CXX 6.5-042, GCC 3.4.3). Ok to commit?

Let me test it first on more platforms, then I'll commit it.
