-There are more powerful alternatives to using

-STLport or

-However, in contrast to these alternatives, the
-generate_cpp_c_headers.py script is very light-weight (less
-than 100 non-comment lines of Python code), much less ambitious,
-significantly easier to maintain and therefore more suitable as an interim workaround.

    Several Boost libraries require the standard library's <limits> header,
-yet this header is not always supplied by non-conforming compilers and
-libraries.  Header boost/limits.hpp
-simply includes the standard library <limits> header if available,
-otherwise includes boost/detail/limits.hpp. 
-BOOST_NO_LIMITS from boost/config.hpp is used
-to determine <limits> availability.
