FYI, there's already a proposal
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2351.htm

Or directly migrates to TR1 shared_ptr when it becomes mature, which may 
not happen soon.

Instead of incorporating the Boost into gtkmm as my initial post, maybe 
the coming C++0x components are more acceptable.
