I have rewritten my fixed_capacity_vector class to solve the second
problem (construction of non-POD objects).

  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/fixed_capacity/fixed_capacity_20020208.zip

I believe that non-POD objects are now constructed and destructed in a
proper way.  As for the alignment problem, however, I'm not sure if
the current implementation is portable or not.  I will greatly
appreciate comments and suggestions from all of you on this point.

If there is no implementation problem in the current code, I will
start to rewrite fixed_capacity_deque too.

Best regards,
