The lazy init does not work because somehow get() is being called in a 
static object (static_initializer()->init()), so it's lazily but *too 
early* instantiated.

If intermodule_singleton is used as a singleton outside static classes 
in dlls, then I guess there is no problem.

In the future I'll change intermodule_singleton to use 
windows_managed_shared_memory so that we can avoid any call to COM objects.

According to microsoft documentation, we shouldn't even call C runtime 
memory management functions in DllMain, which is really frightening. And 
in Windows 2000 we can't even create a named pipe or other named object 
(so we can't create named shared memory).

If you need an static object to use a intermodule_singleton, then we can 
replace the static object with another intermodule_singleton.

Best,
