So, I was sitting in a car repair shop with only a laptop and a Boost 
checkout, and...

User-visible changes:
 - All of the functionality deprecated in 1.29.0 (and in CVS for quite a long 
time) has been removed. 

 - The headers <boost/function1.hpp>, <boost/function2.hpp>, etc. now include 
the appropriate partial specialization of class template 'function', so that 
one need only include <boost/functionN.hpp> to use boost::function<R (T1, T2, 
..., TN)>.

  - Can limit the maximum number of arguments supported when including 
<boost/function.hpp> by setting BOOST_FUNCTION_MAX_ARGS. There are no issues 
with link compatibility when different projects use different settings of 
BOOST_FUNCTION_MAX_ARGS, or when function.hpp is included multiple times with 
different numbers for BOOST_FUNCTION_MAX_ARGS.

Implementation details:

Function now uses the Preprocessor library for its internal lists, so that it 
is possible to create Boost.Function function objects for any number of 
arguments (up to 255, that is). The Preprocessor library's file iteration 
(great work, Paul!) is used to generate the function0-functionN classes.
