This patch addresses PR c++/20599 by introducing support for variadic
templates:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20599

This is the third revision of the variadic templates patch. It
addresses several small bugs, cleans up the terminology used in the
patch, tweaks the syntax slightly, and allows the use of variadic
templates in several more C++ contexts:

  - Base specifier list
  - Throw specifier list
  - Initializer list
  - Base class initializer list

This patch is dependent on the experimental C++0x mode patch, posted here:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-11/msg00024.html

More information about variadic templates is available here:

  http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/cpp/variadic-templates.html

This is part 1 of 3. It contains all of the C++ front end changes.

Tested on mainline with i686-pc-linux-gnu; no new regressions. All new
tests pass.

Okay for mainline?
