Yeah, that's probably the easiest option.  I'll go with that.

There is indeed a bit more to it than I showed.  I am using this 
technique in two separate places... the one I showed you was in the 
'wrapping' layer, which defines the create functions as members of the 
outermost singleton smart pointer.  These merely provide the interface 
and forward to the create functions generated inside the creator 
policy.  A smart pointer to the creator policy instance is used for 
forwarding to take care of thread safety concerns.
