Taken from hcube.cc in dune-grid.

We may want to unify the naming eventually.

There are lots of power implementations all over our code.
This is the first step of some cleanup.  It moves the class Power_m_p
from misc.hh (like who's ever gonna find it there...) to a separate
header power.hh.  Other implementations will be collected there as
well, if appropriate.

With the patch, including misc.hh will issue a cpp warning that people
who include misc.hh only for Power_m_p should now include power.hh
instead.  This is not great, because it also affects people who include
misc.hh for something else.  Bear with this for a while; I couldn't
think of a better solution.

Update documentation for clang deprecation support. It reads still
clumsy and should be cleaned if we officially discontinue support for
older compilers.

It is used from the dune-geometry module (see FS 1180).

C++11 requires a cast operator from integral_constant< T, v > to T. As far as I
could make out, no gcc version provides this cast in <tr1/type_traits> and only
gcc >= 4.6 provides it in <type_traits>. Therefore, the configure check now tests
for the cast operator only in <type_traits>.

Note: Our drop-in replacement conforms to the standard in the above-mentioned
sense.

Try -std=c++11 before -std=c++0x as the latter causes a warning for
Clang. (solves partly FS#989)

[[Imported from SVN: r6986]]

Updated version test to gcc >= 4.1.
Added version test for clang >= 3.0.
Unfortunately I am not aware of the minimum required version of icc,
this test remains for icc >= 7.0.
White space adjustments.
