In common.h, define func_lib for function objects.  In configure.ac, define HAVE_STD_FUNCTION and HAVE_BOOST_FUNCTION.  Include function headers in ndnboost.

+   01st October 2000:
+      Fixed call_traits on VC6, using "poor man's partial specialisation",
+      using ideas taken from "Generative programming" by Krzysztof Czarnecki 
+      & Ulrich Eisenecker.
