A fix for the STL std::nth_element bug in gcc 4.8.1 has been

I suggest that we now remove the ifdefs for using
boost::nth_element. The change was not made in a separate branch, so
undoing it will require some digging. Anders: will you undo the
change?
It's easy to undo. For a start, I suggest keeping the #ifdef and
unsetting the flag.
But why do we need to hurry to switch back to std::nth_element?
It has not effect other than reintroducing the bug
It never fixed the bug completely. CGAL code still failed because of the
STL bug.
for those who
haven't yet upgraded gcc.
I couldn't care less about users who won't run 'apt-get upgrade'.
Because it's code clutter and we should use STL rather than Boost when
possible.
