"any" now in CVS; Metrowerks help needed

Kevlin Henney has finished "any", and the appropriate files have been 
checked into CVS.

I added his any_test.cpp to the Boost regression tests.  Works fine for 
Borland, GNU, Intel, and Microsoft compilers on Win32.

Fails for Metrowerks; a friend member template problem.  The workaround is 
probably simple (make stuff public if BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS). 
OTOH, the test passes with the VC++ compiler, which also defines 
BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS, so I may be wrong about that.

If Metrowerks users would like to contribute a fix for that compiler, I'm 
sure Kevlin would appreciate it.

PS: 1.23.0 release was delayed because of non-boost factors.  It should be 
ready in a day or so.
