Adding it now will break the feature freeze and add a new dependency.
I'd love to see boost-smart_ptr in 1.5 but IMO too late for 1.4. I do
like this library and I think it can be useful in more places.

As a side note I'd like to have boost::smart_ptr and not the tr1
variation since not all platforms have easy support for boost 1.34(.1).
Debian Etch uses boost 1.33.1.
