[boost] mutex::scoped_lock question

Hello, all ...

I've a very simple question, but i've not found my answer in the  
Boost source.  How do I manually acquire the lock on a  
boost::mutex::scoped_lock() e.g. without using the constructor?  The  
reason is that I need to make my instance of the lock on the heap, so  
I want to use the default ctor and acquire (and release) the lock  
myself.  I'm wrapping the scoped_lock in another higher-level class  
(called Lock, funnily enough) and I want to insulate the code above  
me from specifics.

I'm going to continue looking through the source, but any help would  
be appreciated!

Regards,

John
