tuples changes

Jaakko,

I hope you don't mind, but I've checked in some changes to the tuples lib
that fixes the problems that the Borland and VC6 compilers have with the
tuples::get function.  I've also updated the test program to make calls to
just "get" rather than "tuples::get" to make sure that the changes are
checked out in the tests.

Unfortunately VC7b2 still ICE's when trying to compile tuple.hpp - the
problem is the definition of element_ref in
tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp: for some reason add_reference is tripping
the compiler up here, and I can't find a fix.

Does anyone have the release candidate version of vc7 to see if the problem
has been fixed there?
