Mention addition of TR1 to C++ for GCC-4.0.0

Mention addition of TR1 to C++ for GCC-4.0.0

[Ed Smith-Rowland]

I think the addition of the TR1 template classes and algorithms (the 
parts of Boost++ that have been ratified as an extension to C++ by ISO) 
should be mentioned on the web page: 
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.0/changes.html.

These additions are great news for me at least.

I'm sure someone more knowledgable than me will also reply to this 
message, but it is important to note that at the moment (and I imagine 
even in 4.0), only a portion of the TR1 has been implemented.

Also it will be important to note that the currently published TR1 is 
not yet final, and I'm certain that some things will change before the 
final release.

Nevertheless, we could use a note documenting the parts of TR1 that will
be in 4.0.0, how to use it, etc., and make sure to warn people that it is
experimental (meaning that the libstdc++ team makes no promises about
backward compatibility, so the users might have to revise their programs
later on should the committee make changes).

I concur and would like to add that some facilities, like <tuple> 
prepared by
Chris, are already rather close to the final form!
