Hi Joaquin,

I've been working on a boost::flyweights::intermodule_holder_class-like 
intermodule_singleton class. It's in early design state. This class is 
doing some lazy variable and shared memory initialization, so maybe it 
can be useful to implement intermodule_holder. It's in trunk, in 
boost/interprocess/detail/intermodule_singleton.hpp. It's not optimized 
for windows (it uses file locks and kernel lifetime shared memory, 
emulating a unix process, it would be much more lightweight using native 
windows process-lifetime resources) but I think you should try it. I've 
not tested in DLL-s.

You have a test (intermodule_singleton.cpp) in boost/interprocess/test 
that shows some use cases.

Best,

Ion
