[boost] "runtime" binding

While writing code for Init, my new static initialization library, I 
discovered that I need to be able to dynamically bind a series of 
parameters (the types are not known by my code - they will be passed 
through a template function) and store the functor, so as to defer the 
actual function call (a constructor in this case, so the return type is 
known). I haven't used Boost.Bind all that often, but I don't think it 
supports dynamic polymorphism on the return type. A template is not an 
option in this case, because I can't use argument deduction on class 
types, and you can't call functions from global scope. If anyone knows a 
useable substitute that I can use to avoid having to rewrite the binding 
system, that would be exceptional!
