sp_collector.cpp has a "gift" status. ;-) Meaning that it is not one of my
priorities to support or maintain it, but if someone finds it useful as a
starting point for further work, all the better.

Its main purpose was/is to demonstrate that it is possible to write a
collector for cyclic shared_ptr structures without altering the shared_ptr
specification, i.e. that the spec is flexible enough to handle an optional
collector should someone decide to provide one as part of their
std::shared_ptr.
