[boost] [shifted_ptr] Decent TLH pool added

Greetings:

I was investigating a library called Nedmalloc which seems to offer exactly 
the functionality I was looking for.  It's a local heap allocator, very 
flexible, clean, but most importantly portable.  I have added the 
nedmalloc.h, nedmalloc.c and malloc.c.h in my sandbox under boost/detail and 
example/.

The dedicated example tlh_pool_test1.cpp works in Windows but I haven't 
included the interface into the new tlh_pool.hpp file yet.  Furthermore 
if_from() will need to be implemented because Nedmalloc doesn't offer some 
lookup over the list of segments to match a pointer to.  There is a function 
called segment_holding() that will need to be wrapped by some 
mspace_holding().

Any pool gurus are welcome to criticize Nedmalloc or anything else before I 
use it.
