Christophe,

As an alternative, you might look at the intrusive pointer 
implementation at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpputilities/. (Get 
the cpputilities_2003_01_04 download and extract the files ptr.h, 
target_base.h, pointer.html and target.html.) This is a 
fully-documented, STL-compatible, public-domain smart-pointer 
implementation. (The documentation is probably equally applicable to 
boost's intrusive_ptr.)
