I'd like to request a name change from allocator.hpp to something else 
more appropriate (ie, allocator_helper.hpp).  Correct me if I'm wrong, 
but I believe this isn't an actual boost allocator implementation, but 
rather helper classes to get passed rebind issues in some STL 
implementations.

The reason I mention this is that I was actually thinking of creating a 
boost::allocator class to work with RAII classes.  That is, an allocator 
class that allows you to pass constructor parameters when constructing 
the object.
