Cool.  I haven't tried Fusion yet, but as for MPL...

Some other Boost libraries make significant use of
MPL, such as the recently accepted Boost Statechart
Library.

You could also browse through the Boost Vault
<http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/> and look
inside the Template Metaprogramming folder.  Peder
Holt and I are the authors of MPL.Math, which will
someday be included with Boost whenever:

*  I build the documentation.
*  Compile-time big-integral and fraction constants
improve in performance enough to become usable for a
large majority of programmers.
*  I typeof-register the MPL.Math components in a
satisfactory manner.

Your next stop should be the User Mail Archives
<http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/>; look up the
"Who's Using Boost" thread(s) back in 2005 and maybe
you'll find other applications that use MPL/Fusion. 
To start you off, I maintain my own project at
<http://msmazes.sourceforge.net/>, which uses MPL to a
lesser extent.  But it illustrates that MPL has a wide
variety of uses.
