Ok I just added a skeleton for a STL compliant allocator called 
"shifted_allocator" in "sh_owned_base_nt.hpp" of my sandbox.  This is an 
example of how it should be written, unfortunately I wasn't able to make it 
compile but this is basically the final step.  There are some FIXME in the 
header and shifted_ptr_test2.cpp file.

Thanks,
