Status update:
21 out of 25 Boost.Bind tests pass!

4 of the unit tests do not pass, because boost::result_of does not support
functions with stdcall or fastcall attributes.
2 other tests (bind_cv_test.cpp and bind_stateful_test.cpp) are currently
implemented a little hacky, because as of this writing phoenix::bind only
cares for const operator() overloads.
2 other tests (bind_eq_test.cpp and bind_function_test.cpp) are only working
because i left out some stuff which isn't implemented yet.
bind_placeholder_test.cpp is not working as expected, because phoenix3 has
no support for real costum placeholders (as in the purpose of this test).
