boost-gil-numeric @1.0 (devel), gil examples which come with the boost package fail to compile

[macdev@…]

Dear maintainer of boost-gil-numeric,

the gil examples which come with the boost package failed to compile on my system. Problems are caused by 2 lines in file /opt/local/include/boost/gil/extension/numeric/sampler.hpp

The functions iround() and ifloor() are defined to return point2<std::ptrdiff_t> which is a long int on my system. That causes problems with related template definitions.

You might want to conference the prototye definitions to be found in file /opt/local/include/boost/gil/utilities.hpp

I created a diff:

The gil examples refered to are those from boost @1.46.1 (devel).

In the future, don't forget to Cc the port maintainer. Also, please attach your diff to the ticket. furthermore, if you really want to help get this implemented, attach the unified diff for the portfile too.
