Alembic does not work on 32-bit architectures

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In Util/Dimensions.h the following assert
    BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT( sizeof( MySizeT ) == sizeof( T ) );
prevents us from compiling Alembic on 32 bit architectures. This may only be 
the beginning of the difficulties.

The static assert is not the cause of the problem; it's there to ensure that 
the code will work if it builds.  The problem is the implementation of 
BaseDimensions<T>::operator[]); see

Just had to ensure that types in Util::BaseDimensions::m_vector were 
appropriately cast on creation.  Changes:
