You may want to check Louis Dionne work on a more comprehensive C++1y 
conversion of bth MPL and Fusion.

I once triaged them on the old track. I cna have a look again and guide 
you.
The main issue with current MPL is the huge number of ifdef//workaround 
for silly old compiler that clutter the code.
Depending on how the list of supported compiler have been updated 
lately, one main task may be to clean those so
patchign other issues will become easier.
