Right now, you don't.  We need a thread-safe version of shared_ptr.

   A suitable approach might be to provide an additional template parameter
   to shared_ptr which represents the counter type, defaulting to something
   based on a standard integer but providing scope for providing an MT safe
   version. For instance, such a counter could be based on the Interlocked*
   functions for Win32.

   Thoughts?
