Hello, Boost folks. :)

I tried to remove this undocumented internal macro from our STL because we used it in only one place, but this broke Boost:

#define _FPOSOFF(fp) ((long long)(fp))

I have pushed a fix for this on the 'develop' branch of iostreams. In the fix basically iostreams uses _FPOSOFF for versions of VC++ prior to VC++14 but uses '((long long)(fp))' for VC++14 on up. This won't get in the upcoming release but it should get in the subsequent Boost release.
