I found John Max Skaller's posts on such a gc_allocator:

  http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/boost/1150154

Since I still can't figure out how he did it, maybe he could provide
code or more details on howto.  However, I don't know his email.  I
may just download his Felix compiler and try deciphering the code.
Now, how do we do something similar with a precise gc like that proposed
earlier?  My first thought is to use some gc_allocator as the
allocator argument to each stl_container which might contain gc'ed 
objects.  Now I thought this was where Skaller noticed a problem with
the stl containers and suggested boost try a modification of stl
to overcome the problem.
