stlport warning: "__WORD_BIT" redefined

[Guy Middleton]

I have stlport-gcc-4.5.3_1 installed on a 5.1-RELEASE system, with gcc 3.2.2.

Compiling this program generates the following warning:

#include <vector>
int main() {
    std::vector<int> iv;
    return 0;
}

The warning is correct, __WORD_BIT is defined in the system _limits.h and is
redefined by STL.  It seems the addition of __WORD_BIT to _limits.h is new; I
could not find it in limits.h on a 4.6-RELEASE system.
