[ODE] 0.6 Release

[Rodrigo Hernandez]

Ok, found how to tell VC++ 6 on a preprocessor directive, according to 
this page:

http://www.datafocus.com/docs/man1/cpp.1.asp

_MSC_VER 

    defines the compiler version for the versions supported by the
    current version of MKS Toolkit. Possible values include:

Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1	_MSC_VER = 1310
Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0	_MSC_VER = 1300
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0	_MSC_VER = 1200
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0	_MSC_VER = 1100
      


So

#if (_MSC_VER <= 1200)
#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

should do the trick.
