[boost] Signals library nearing CVS integration

I've updated the Signals library in response to comments from the formal 
review. Not everything asked for has been finished yet, but a much revised 
version of the library is available here:
  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/Callback/signals-20020410.tgz

The most important user-visible changes are:
- Slot names have become connection groups. Slot call ordering is now 
dependent on the connection group ordering, with ungrouped slots being called 
last.

- Removed "controlling" connections from the public interface. Added the 
scoped_connection class to pick up the slack, but with more obvious semantics.

- Lots of header/namespace shuffling.

Please see the history.html file in the library documentation for a complete 
list of the changes made.

Some reviewer comments have not yet been addressed. The most blatant one 
being that the tutorial still has a demanding, hard-to-understand structure 
and, to make matters worse, is out-of-sync with the slot ordering and group 
naming changes. This will be addressed before Signals is integrated, I 
promise :)

Comments always welcome.
