tupple: tuples from preprocessor

Dear boosters,

back in July I started to try out Vesa Karvonen's preprocessor lib;
especially, I wondered if it was possible to generate tuple-like
structures with it.

As a result, I posted another tuple library today to the 
groups' file section:
"tupple" (the 'pp' indicates the use of preprocessor)

It provides almost the same functionality and interface as
the current Boost tuple lib, but with a rather different 
mechanism behind the scenes: whereas tuple utilizes 
type list-like structures to handle template parameter lists
like tuple<T0,T1,...,Tn>, tupple simply uses the preprocessor
to generate this sort of code.

I'm sorry for the sparse documentation, but I think it's about 
time to submit "tupple" to the Boost community for further
discussion.

Any comments are appreciated,

- Roland
