Yes, I couldn't recommend requiring Boost.Pool in order to use
Boost.SmartPtr.  Pool is too complicated, and still doesn't work on several
compilers.  I don't know about others, but it's common for me to use only
parts of Boost in a project -- and having a dependency from smart_ptr to
pool would be a bad thing (from that perspective).

I would recommend using Dave's excellent earlier example.
