Just curious...did you have to do anything special to get it working inside aolserver?

(and it is a namespace :-)) It also has a number of advantages, I can run the same code outside of aolserver, the tsv::lock allows me to run a block of code under the shared mutex, and it has a more complete set of list functions.
