[ODE] 0.6 Release

[Rodrigo Hernandez]

Of the top of my head it occurs to me that you could do

using namespace std;

and then remove the std:: prefixes, that way VC6 would use ::min and 
::max instead of std::min and std::max.

I preffer the std:: prefix because that way you know exactly which 
version of the function you're calling,
but I guess we can sacrifice that.

Also, you could check for VC6 on a preprocessor directive and define MIN 
and MAX:

#if (check for MSC Version here)
#define MIN(A,B) ((A>B) ? B:A)
#define MAX(A,B) ((A>B) ? A:B)
#else
#define MIN(A,B) std::min(A,B)
#define MAX(A,B) std::max(A,B)
#endif

and replace all std:: instances with either MIN or MAX
