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.

SmartPtr< T > is similar to shared_ptr< T > in its intention. However, it
demands methods addReference and removeReference on the object it points to.
Actually, you could implement shared_ptr< T > through a
SmartPtr< RefCountWrapper< T > > and a few cast operators.

initialize result with 0
(patch by Matthias Wohlmuth)

[[Imported from SVN: r6877]]

* the array synopsis in the standard uses struct, so why don't we?
* add method empty (demanded by the standard, many more are actually missing)
* consistently use std::size_t instead of size_t (for std::array it should even be std::size_t)
* simplify operator<<
* unify indentation (to 2)
* make_array is a function and not a method
* improve comments on the preprocessor branches (to improve readability)
